And what prevents you from making it one, or creating email alias you
could use, instead?

Yes, it the appropriate target isn't you.

All I can add, provided the limitations of current implementation, I'd
suggest you to put everybody having volunteered explicitly into
InitialCC list or directly into the Owner field (AFAICT, multiple owners
are possible).

This would allow scripted update checks (cpancheck) without accidentally
interfering with those packages you have acls in effect (e.g. the main
perl package)

Also it would be appropriate to contact FESCO (ain't you a FESCO
member?) to have Toshio implement this missing feature.
