apt-cache show $package | grep Maintainer in the stable distribution, I can see who was the last person who was declared as the maintainer of a package before Stable was released. This gives very few hints on who is the *actual* maintainer of a package. Somebody without much experience might rapidly get fooled and write to the wrong email address. I'm not sure what's the solution. Maybe having "apt-cache show" to replace the Maintainer field by a link to packages.debian.org or something like that...
