I'm happy to make that change. But because I hadn't been thinking in terms of team maintainance until now, I would have been entirely unaware that this change had been made until I tried to push some other change to the git repository, had I not happened to see the upload message posted to this list. So if there are any other packages in a similar situation, please do let the maintainer know that you're making such a change in advance of doing so! Now that this change has been done, I must just be careful to use a slightly different workflow in future, doing a git pull before starting to work on a package, in case someone from the wider team has made a change that I hadn't noticed.
