ISTM we should have a "publicity" list. We already have people assigned
to particular regions, so we already have a sizeable group of people
able to assist with this kind of thing. If some of the people in that
role are not able to respond, perhaps others can instead? No need to
replace the people that can't respond, just have a single list and a
single contact point. We merely agree that the person nearest in
geography/timezone/language/other proximity factor helps first, if they
can't others also near can help out.

So what I'm suggesting is start a list with all the people currently
marked as press contacts for various regions. Replace the specific press
contact with a generic email address that will go through to the list,
with good spam filtering.
