We have started to recognize people as having release-upload rights, even if they aren't formal maintainers (this is really fairly recent and so far has been handled on a case-by-case basis). Siddhesh, if this applies to you in your current role, please get in touch at maintain...@gnu.org (ideally CC'ing one or more maintainers who can confirm). "Upload rights" isn't much of a title, though, so I would be interested to hear more about what a release manager does (although Mark gives some hints and I think I can make a reasonable guess from the name). It's something that could be formalized / officially recognized if it's generalizable to other packages. Thanks, -brandon
