There are no such people. Packages with rc bugs are not released and the
ftp maintainers won't let things they think might get them in legal trouble
into the archive but other than that it is up to the individual maintainer.
One posts an ITP (Intent To Package) to debian-devel and then, unless the
opponents (if any) can talk one out of it, uploads the package.
