I understand the above to mean that the intent is to add Roberto to the Uploaders field withoun Matt's explicit consent. I consider that very inappropriate (as a developer, not as a release manager); the Uploader field is for developers who have mutually agreed to comaintain a package. If Matt is unresponsive to requests for updates, please get this package orphaned through QA and help Roberto to adopt it. Otherwise, it's inappropriate to NMU a new upstream version of a package in a way that may jeopardize its inclusion in the release.
