I subscribe to debian-devel-changes for that. :-)

There's room for improvement indeed.

I would be in favor of a tighter integration between the PTS and the
<package>@packages.debian.org email address too for example.

I could implement a default subscription to the PTS for package
maintainers but you first need to solve several problems:
- decide which keywords they will receive by default (all except bts,
  bts-control and upload-binary is my choice, and maybe katie-other)
- when the maintainer changes, we logically need to unsubcribe the previous.
  So this must be recorded somewhere. (it's not a subscription like the
  others)
- in many cases, the maintainer doesn't want the "diff" since there's a
  dedicated mailing list for that on alioth ... is it OK if we leave the
  problem up to the maintainer to change the set of keyword accepted ?

Of course help to implement it is always welcome...
