This appears to be an interaction between the new behaviour and the
DEBCHANGE_MULTIMAINT_MERGE configuration file option. Specifically, if
DEBCHANGE_MULTIMAINT_MERGE is set to yes, then dch provides exactly the
behaviour you're looking for (in fact, it does anyway if the last
maintainer header matches the person making the change).

The issue only occurs in the case where you've not got
DEBCHANGE_MULTIMAINT_MERGE set, you're adding a "blank" entry and the
last maintainer header is for a different maintainer; I'll have a look
at how difficult this would be to change.

Regards,

Adam
