Comment (by chesio):

 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.
