Could "contact" be named differently then? contact=0 in metadata.xml in this context means that the automatic reassigning should not assign to that maintainer, but when a user looks whom to ask specific questions from and sees contact=0 he/she will understand he/she is not to contact that person as the value is zero, but Daniel wants them to contact precisely him in that case. A different keyword might be better for that reason. Good proposal otherwise! I do have some reservations due to no human looking over new bugs (before they get reassigned to a possibly otherwise busy maintainer), as someone already has expressed, but we can always try it out and see how it goes, I think.
