Before doing that, please post a list of packages and their maintainers
to the devel list.  Preferably you would post two lists: one in the
form:

package        owner1 owner2 owner2

And another in the form

owner          package1 package2 package3

This makes it easy for packagers to trivially see if they have any work
to do without having to wrestle with what could potentially be a large
number of bugzilla tickets which are more annoying than useful.

The message with these lists should also include reasonably complete
information about what they need to do.  Not just a pile of links,
though you should of course include links in case someone wants to read
further.

That will go faster if you don't waste people's time filing a load bugs
and instead give people at least a couple of weeks to see their name on
a list and get things fixed up.

A few extra minutes spent generating a useful and complete report can
save a lot of time for busy packagers and potentially save some ill will
as well.
