The DM permissions that you have received are static and if you tried to upload anything outside these static permissions, you will get a REJECT.(I could not find this documented in Debian Policy or Developers Reference BTW,so maybe I am wrong with the above assumption?)No, it's just not documented.
The authoritative documentation is (sadly) in a GR: https://www.debian.org/vote/2007/vote_003
And it was unclear how much of it can actually be changed without a GR - despite ~all bullet points saying "initial policy". A power to set policy has not been conferred to a team with this GR. At least that's what I recall. ;-)
