That should already be the case? FMN should mail you... perhaps this
isn't working?

There's work to get this happening...

The reason we have a main admin/point of contact is because bugzilla
makes us set one email address/account as assigned and the rest get CC'ed.

That said, we could:
* make a bugzilla user for every package named
'packagename-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'
* assign bugs for that package to that user (no ccs)

This would allow us to avoid a main admin/point of contact.
On the other hand you couldn't tell from bugzilla what humans were
behind that alias, which some people might dislike.

If we come up with a way to deal with bugzilla, sure.
