The point of team upload is precisely so that you can update the package and not take responsibility for a package that you don't want to maintain in the long run. I was in many Uploaders field because lintian complain if you are not in Uploaders/Maintainer, yet I was there only for a single team upload for a perl or a python transition and using an NMU version would have been wrong because everything was properly done in the team VCS and there was no NMU to integrate for the next person working on the package. So I object to using NMU version for team uploads but I would like to have a mechanism for a team upload that doesn't lead to people adding themselves in Uploaders when they don't have a (real/long-term) commitment to the package. Then, the Maintainer/Uploader field would be again more accurate to know if we have people that care about the packages or not. So I see this change as good move to better detect that nobody cares about the package.
