I am big fan of the idea, and I'd like to contribute my razor to the Yak 
shaving procedure. ;)

As people pointed out, the current UX is sub-optimal, as the email 
address is somewhat non-descriptive and it is difficult to get an 
overview of "the commons".

So I took the liberty and created a Debian Commons team on tracker.d.o 
[1]. You can now use "Debian Commons <[email protected]>" 
as Maintainer, which will auto-add them to this team.

I will manually add some of your packages to jump-start the group. 
Incidentally, I also muted the group for myself so I don't get all 
emails for all Debian Commons packages, but if someone feels compelled, 
they can certainly subscribe to the team and do some archive-wide QA 
maintenance.


Cheers
Timo
