If we make the debian-policy-annouce list the maintainer for debian-policy, then all new bug reports and amendments will go there, as will the evnetual close message. We can then make sure that these are gatewayed to debian-policy itself by subscribing debian-policy to debian-policy-announce as if it was a reader of that list. How does that sound?
