Wrong, alioth admins should make sure the default is sane, but they shouldn't overwrite current policies unless requested/acked by the listmaster or project admin IMHO. If we are not able to contact the maintainer via the address mentioned in the Maintainer field in unstable, we normally open a bug to change the address in the next address as changing it is not possible without an upload. If the maintainer does not (intend to) change the Maintainer field in a reasonable timeframe while it lists an address that is not usable (enough), I would argue that the package should be orphaned.
