This is handled by a later case in the proposal. Simply interest a maintainer element with the herd email address, and add the contact=0 attribute to your maintainer element in the file.

This is exactly the reason that I proposed the contact=0 attribute - for some of the packages that I maintain, I do not want the bugs assigned directly to me, but to the herd instead.
