How about the following:

The addition of individual e-mail addresses for
      an organization in addition to the organizational e-mail address
      will be considered in exceptional circumstances; for example, if
      the maintainer for the xen package is not on the organization's
      security e-mail list, and either maintaining a separate list or
      having those on the list act as an intermediary would be too
      onerous.
