I like this idea.  I have to admit, I have been trying to say away from the
old ways of building packages so I contributed to the problem.  Regardless,
+1 from me.

I think that the idea of release-maintainer in general is a good one.  It
makes it more obvious who a contributor wants to talk to.  Additionally, it
makes it possible for the maintainer to concentrate on one thing, instead of
running around dealing with issues related to several releases.

Jeff.
