That's already the case today. For years now any libvirt related packages have been owned by an alias "libvirt-ma...@redhat.com" to avoid having a single real human get assigned every bug by default. Other groups have done similar too. If we can make that explicitly supported in Fedora, then the visibility of alias -> list of real humans actually becomes easier. Currently libvirt-maint is an opaque mailing alias, but if we have aliases populated from the list of people against the package in pagure, then there's a clear way to resolve the alias -> humans. IOW, I'd very much welcome officially supported use of aliases for ownership Fedora.
