Getting the problem known into the developers hands is not very effective that way. Considering that the messages's Subject may not necessarily name a particular package. The user list gets about 45 messages per day. Take month and it's about 1000 messages. Consider long leaves, absence and life in general and the "should monitor" is of questionable value. We could consider better and more organized method of reporting issues. Debian uses mail based interface that is based on packages. The same could be accomplihed using a web interface and a little of PHP coding. A dedicated bugs list could be welcoming idea. The message could be CC'd to the package maintainer as well if he so wishes. Not all may want that but some may want to get mail into their mailbox directly.
