Fine for me. I understand there is some use of this proposal in teams and I don't see big reasons against it (those being said in the last thread about this). There is just one thing that bothers me: this new feature would invite teams to actually put noone in the uploaders list. The team would be maintainer and no real person would be listed in the package. And I don't like this possible outcome. From a QA (and MIA) perspective this is not a good idea. So if you're going to write patches as you said, please consider adding at least a "should" to policy about setting a real person as uploader when the maintainer is a team (i.e. mailing list). Hauke
