Could make a bot that just watches from: addresses on the list. If it sees a mail from you within the last release cycle, it assumes you are still alive.
If it doesn't hear from you for an entire release cycle, it sends out a small ping and looks for bounces.
Only once a release would be not more than four times a year, and most active maintainers would never see a single email.
Or, yes, manually when it happens...
