Because subscription to -maintainers isn't mandatory?

IMO, all maintainers should be interested in reading maintainers, or
they better should not call themselves maintainers.

To maintainers@, yes.

Only because some people don't want to learn to distinguish between
devel and maintainers? To me things like "nouveau vs. nv" are clearly
devel questions, while buildsystem ("bodhi/koji/plague") issues or
"AWOL" issues are maintainer questions which are highly non interesting
to "general developers".

It you go this route, consider to close down all other devel, test
packaging etc lists and to merge them with @-devel, because anything
discussed their-in is somehow "development of the distro". ;)
