Well, Paul is right, when he mentions it.

And I don't think it's necessary to "ping" the last uploader. Do the 
merge, or don't do it. Or do the merge and if you are unsure please ask 
the last uploader in this case.

There are some packages I wouldn't touch, because I know there are some 
people who are more knowledged to these packages then I am.
And yes, MOTUs don't own packages, they are working on them.
