It's easier to fix than that - the FAQ says CC the maintainer.
If that is not the desired action, change the FAQ.
If there are some people with enough authority to not be bound by
MDK policies, put their names in the FAQ at the same place where
it says to CC the maintainer as exceptions to the rule.

But don't yell at people for FOLLOWING the FAQ.

Note - I do know that this thread started from someone only partially
following the rules (he didn't bother to get the correct name first as
the FAQ says to do). For THIS PART ONLY a reprimand may have been in order.

As long as the FAQ says to CC then the developer's wishes are irrelevant.
