I wonder if we shouldn't make the 'Uploaders:' field optional to allow team Maintainer: fields without any particular Uploaders: fields.
Hahaha!I guess I should explain why I'm bursting out in laughter: Yes of course we should, and I've argued this several times in the past, and it was always was shot down by vocal people who are not involved in any of this team maintenance stuff.
It seems to me that the Uploaders: fields doesn't really reflect any relevant information, or at least none that is kept up to date. Is there any reason we couldn't make this change to policy?
I completely agree, and if you'r going to try and change this, I will (again) support this position.
