I also have been bitten by this recently. I assumed that the package was DPT maintained because it was in the DPT namespace on Salsa. But it was not. And I got a message after my upload. If the package was outside of DPT, I would have created a bug instead for the maintainer to handle. I do not understand the point of Uploader: DPT compared to individually maintained packages. So, +1 for this.
