 > 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:

 > 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.

 only as long as someone on receiving end has a valid administrator account

 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.


 Does this plugin help in solving this issue ?
