I suspect this is merely a poor assumption that was embedded into the PyPI
application.  As the uploader, you're the one with rights to the project
entry on PyPI.

We should correct the assumption that the uploader is related to the authorship
for the package, though I'd hate to introduce yet another mess in the
terminology
used on PyPI.
