I'm concerned that this requires subscription to the package in Debian for
this to not fall off the radar.  We have merges.ubuntu.com which tracks
which packages need to be updated, and the standing assumption is that the
person who last uploaded the package to Ubuntu is responsible for following
through on the merges.  Is this not the current practice of the Ubuntu
Server team?

There's a commandline tool, 'grep-merges', which lets you grep for packages
you touched last by email.  'grep-merges hasenack' currently returns empty
so you're currently good :)
