I'm not sure many package authors would like that (and the poll

That's because that poll is skewed. You can only choose one option,
even if more than one is acceptable to you. Thus, persons must vote
strategically to avoid a bad outcome due to a split vote.
If you were allowed to select all acceptable options, I would've
included "mail to package owner only" as an acceptable option. But
since I can only pick one, I would not "waste my vote" and thus keep my
most-preferred option (no commenting system at all) from receiving a
plurality of votes.
That's exactly what I thought too. Except my vote still went to "mail to
package owner only".
