People opposed using debian-devel@lists.debian.org as mail address which 
I completely agree with. My way of working is extremely low profile, it 
doesn't add any burden to anyone with respect to e-mails as the address 
that I'm using is already getting all the mail anyways. Any new mail 
list would require several actions. And as mentioned by some too, also I 
wouldn't subscribe to it.

I have no idea, I wasn't expecting it to work but just noticed it. There 
is extremely weird witchery involved though, because the other package 
that still use the old "be my guest" also show up there, awesome :). 
However, I just noticed that the witchery appears weird to me though, as 
https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=cppi%40packages.debian.org 
doesn't get merged into it. So I'm inferring that it checks the 
uploaders field somehow. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I guess 
if/when this idea gets widespread the tools will be adapted by their 
owners or the commoners (via patches, MRs or straight fixes).
