One way to read your "bonus points" would allow the DM to upload a new package with the maintainer set to pkg-haskell-maintainers. That can also be interpreted as allowing the DM to upload/NMU any package as long as he sets the maintainer field to pkg-haskell-maintainers. But I can also read it as a DD first needs to upload the package with the maintainer field set to pkg-haskell-maintainers, and from then on any DM in that group can upload that package.
