This is to answer expose's question as well, but the attribute should
only indicate if the maintainer entry should be used for any automatic
process at all, not how to use it.

One of the reasons is that multiple maintainers each with
notification=assignment obviously won't work, and it's non-trivial to
validate via the DTD (yes, DTDs suck compared to XSchema, I know).

I intend that the first non-excluded maintainer entry is the one used
for the automatic process.

In terms of implementing this in the DTD, I'm going to specify that
'contact=1' (or whatever name we settle on) is the default, so that we
don't break validation of any existing metadata:

<!ATTLIST maintainer
  contact   (0|1)   1   -- should this maintainer be used by 
                        -- automatic processes?

In light of the above, how about 'automatic=0'?
