Just because I'm mean, let me strip you off of this lame excuse :-)
Everybody can *prepare* NMUs, test them, and post nmudiffs for review.
The only action which is limited to who has upload access to the Debian
archive is to actually *upload* them, including uploads to the various
DELAYED/XX queues.

Jokes asides, the above is not targeted at you specifically; rather is
to let other people interested in DEX and following this list know some
ground rules. In fact, doing that preparation / testing work would be
very useful and might help finding NMU uploaders. Also, it would be
interesting to see how this list could work in terms of patch review and
the like / upload sponsor finding.

Cheers.
