I suspect that packages will be removed from team maintenance as a result though and I think that's a bad idea.
If a package isn't in the team, any DD can ask for permission from the maintainer before an upload. So, what's the difference, with a package that is "is in the Python team", but nobody from the team can upload without prior approval from the current maintainer? It simply doesn't make sense.
So at the end, if packages get "removed from the team", it's a good thing: it clarifies the situation.
Andreas has been the biggest uploader of packages for many years (by the number of upload per year), and working a lot on Python stuff. It feels wrong we both fell in the "upload not granted: you should have read the team's policy better" mistake, and I do not wish others also receive this kind of demotivating message anymore.
