I think it would be very good, if we could initiate such a cooperation.
It would also make more obvious what maintainers are MIA to use the
Debian term.

There are at least two possible solutions that I'm aware of:
1.) CC'ing a mailing list (like discuss@ or a special one)
2.) Starting to use a real BTS.

I would of course prefer option 2) but option 1) is simpler
to implement and not so "public" (There are many arguments on discuss@ I
couldn't imagine, so I would not be surprised if it will actually be
made).

I was thinking along the same lines sometimes, I just haven't had the
time to write something together to make a mail out of it (I'm somewhat
reluctant to channel my ideas into mails :/).

So please go ahead.

Gruesse,
