IIRC, pkgdb CC'ing all listed people onto the bugs was to allow other
package owners to see the private bugs but it's been quite a while and
I don't know what has changed in bugzilla since then.

One way to address both the "what happens if I take ownership of a
bug, which removes the packagename-owner@fp.o alias?" and the "I don't
want to get bugzilla email to both the packagename-owner@fp.o and CC
list email" concerns would be to use a /dev/null'd address for the
initial owner field.  ie: bug report is initially assigned to
packagename-null@fp.o and all the maintainers are placed into the CC
list.
