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.
