If I had to invent something, it would be along the lines of a Communications Working Group that was open to membership from anyone who would agree to its rules (confidentiality until release, have media training, communicate only the group consensus as TDF's position, for example). I would then use the mail alias of that Working Group as the press contact on any releases, and have the most qualified member pick up each inbound request.
