Package: sbuild
Version: 0.66.0-2
Severity: normal
sbuild by default assigns the user building the package as the
Maintainer listed in the changes files. That is, sbuild ignores the
Maintainer: field in debian/control.
This means a natural use of sbuild to build a team-maintained package
results in the team (the Maintainer listed in debian/control) being
ignored. This does not strike me as optimal.
sbuild does provide the -m --maintainer flag to work around this
problem. But wouldn't it be more natural for sbuild to use the field
in debian/control by default?
For a more nuanced logic, you could perhaps use the debian/control Maintainer
field only if the user performing the build is listed in the Uploaders field.

Let's assume this was fixed between 0.66 and now.
