NO. NO. NO! No one gets to change my package! At least not without changing the version number, adding a changelog, changing the maintainer address and resubmitting it signed with their own key, not mine (essentially a NMU). If/when we ever get gatekeepers (which I suspect may still be a long time away) then having gatekeepers review the category, check it against the master list and either reject it or update the master list is fine. But all a gatekeeper can do is reject a package, not change it.
