Could the default maintainer address be the octave-dev list then? But
I would encourage the Octave Forge maintainers to not accept
maintenance of new packages by default, and instead ask that the
authors list themselves as maintainers. If packages catch on then I
don't think the Octave Forge maintainers will want to be the default
maintainers of N packages.
