no way to change it after uploading.
If your mail address changes, or if you don't want to maintain a package
any more, or if you simply change your mind about receiving status
updates by email, then if this gets hardcoded in the .cabal file you
have no recourse.
Additionally, if you maintain a lot of packages, you don't really want to have to change it everywhere; this kind of setting is really per maintainer, not necessarily per package. (It is also arguably not of much interest to someone downloading the package. Users' questions and bug reports would generally be expected to go to the main contact address, not the buildbot automated report address.)
