Perhaps the maintainer should receive a build summary at regular intervals? This would also work as a check whether there is a live maintainer at the other end of the listed maintainer address. (And hopefully be enough of an annoyance on the libraries@ list that people would start looking for maintainers for orphaned packages :-)
It may well be tempting to plague maintainers
Hey, I only want to plague the libraries@ list, which is subscriber-only, and therefore serves to prevent bug reports from reaching anybody. I'd actually *like* to have reports on build failures on stuff I'm responsible for, as long as there's some sensible rate limiting. Perhaps a maintainer-selected interval could be an option? -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
