Would the Homepage: field that points at the module's CPAN page be good enough? On the other hand, the field currently known as Maintainer: is already optional, so it's OK to leave it out, and when it's useful to, say, pkg-perl, it can be added. Russ, since you objected to it, what do you think? About renaming it: I feel it would be better to be explicit that it's an upstream thing. Thus, Upstream-Maintainer or Upstream-Contact, and perhaps also renaming Name: to Upstream-Name: at the same time.
