This week I deployed an update to calm which addresses this.

vault requests now generate reporting to the maintainer who requested 
the vaulting.

It also should manage to report if the vaulting couldn't happen because 
of integrity checks (e.g. you tried to remove the last version of a 
package which is depended on by something else).

Reporting is still also made to the maintainer(s) of record for the 
package (assuming it's not orphaned).

Apologies for the inconvenience and sorry about the long delay required 
for me to find the time to work on it.
