It depends on the team. In the Games Team, I tend to add myself in Uploaders
for any package I care about enough to sponser uploads. So any non-DD 
contributor
can look at that field and find a list of people who might be willing to sponsor
their work.

In the same way, when I need to know if a given package is still maintained or
is technically orphaned, it’s the people in this field I get in touch with.

Of course an Uploaders field is useful only if it is kept up-to-date,
for a reasonable reading of "up-to-date".
