Spot on.

Or even just a few people who are available to do this sort of thing
and sit behind well-known email addresses: if Debian, Redhat and friends 
know that they can send mail to [email protected] and get help with 
making a Perl package, we're less likely to see broken Perl RPMs out there.
This would be a good thing.

The vendors don't necessarily care about exactly *who* answers that mail, so
long is it gets done. There's no real need to have a named individual to 
contact: a single *point* of contact is far more important than a single
person.
