I'd cast a ballot with the same mark as John's here.

Sometimes I'm lazy and mingle some things in one message with a broader
distribution list, but guilt assignments don't get us anywhere.

What we COULD do is add a

Regression: <SVN revision>[, <SVN revision> [...]]

field and let the system look up whose commit caused the regressions and
add them to the Cc: or Bcc: (to be discussed).  That way we clearly get
people on the hook without pointing fingers in public.
