In the pkg-perl group, at least, it is not at all uncommon that a team
member (usually not a DD) works on a package and tags it as ready for
upload. And then a DD just comes along, checks it, builds and uploads
- without having worked with it. It is not precisely a sponsored
upload, but a team activity for both. So, yes, we have usually worked
aroud it by adding both the people who did the work and the DD to
Uploaders:
Still, even if the package is group-maintained, it is good to be able
to note who is most familiar or has worked most with the package -
And the current scheme does not properly represent it (save for
parsing debian/changelog)
