While I would not be against creating sub team ( because that's what it
is ), I would rather have people first think to the various governance
issues and problem before proposing a technical solution. 

Aliases are obscure per definition, and assigning something to a aliases
would mean that most people would not know who is in CC ( especially
with regards to our privacy policy ). 

We do need to decide who decide a new aliases should be given, and what
it entails ( ie, what would perl take in account ? all perl modules ?
all perl software ? ). And who decide who goes in the aliases/team. 
This would also have a impact on the maintainer db at various level,
technical and organisational, etc.

To me, the answer would still be to have auto assignement of CC based on
maint db + a subscription database, but so far, no one coded it.
