Both of them are in the Uploaders-field of python-default.

"Doing most of the work" is not the same as "being the loudest ones in
complaining".
I had quite much to do with a few python-people for the recent
transition. Jakub (jwilk) did a really fantastic job there (I was next
to handing him binNMU permissions), but also Piotr and Scott did quite
much (and are always nice and helpful). The few occasions Matthias
needed to do someting it worked also quite well, at least for me. (And
once the release team had finally found an slot for python-defaults
pointing to 2.6 in unstable Matthias did an upload quite fast - as it
should be.)
