Well, the basic idea is not so stupid, but the implementation is not really great. I have something better to propose. But it requires a new (long asked) feature : the ability to subscribe to a "package" (to get its bug logs, to get mails sent to <package>@packages.debian.org [1]). - for each ITP, we need at least 2 developers that will maintain the package, they both subscribe to the package, one is the official maintainer, the other is listed in the Uploaders: field. - ftpmasters only accepts packages that fullfill this requirement (they check that there's someone listed in Uploaders) In the long run, we'd really need summary mails to be sent to <package>@packages.debian.org[1] to let people remember that they are in charge of the packages and to point them where work is needed. Cheers, [1] <package> should really be <sourcepackage> ...
