Comment (by ourwebservices):

 Based on all the prior comments / suggestions, and fitting most what you
 said below, I created a simple plugin to help solve a lot of these issues:
 https://ourwpplugins.com/site-owner-admin/

 It would be good to have the admin field a drop down built into core as
 part of good governance, but in the mean time Site Owner Admin can help
 fill the gap, plus extra use cases that are plugin areas.

 > I got this problem too once or twice and it was annoying (and
 frustrating).

 > I am glad this discussion happens, as I find the administration address
 setting peculiar. The administration emails are very useful but only as
 long as someone on receiving end has a valid administrator account and can
 act on them.
 >
 > Therefore my take on this problem would be similar as already suggested
 in some comments above: tie administration emails with administrator
 accounts (or some specific capability). I think every administrator user
 could have an option to opt-in to receive administration emails. This way
 multiple people could be notified, which would allow to mimic behaviour of
 distribution list. The first administrator (ie. the person who installs
 WordPress) should be automatically opted in.
