I just edited the Wiki page and reverted that a bit. Sorry, I did not 
have your mail in mind and was under the impression that the consensus 
was to wait a bit before uploading.

Anyway, I find these guidelines important and would like to see some 
progress. I'm proposing the following vote.

AB  * Info in debian/README.source overrides guidelines
AB  * Ask but don't wait for 'OK' before commiting
AB  * Act on maintainer objections
A   * Ask but don't wait for 'OK' before uploading, ask and wait 5 days for 'OK' before adding yourself to 'Uploaders'
B   * Ask and wait 5 days for 'OK' before uploading and adding yourself to 'Uploaders'
C   * Further discussion

I will wait one week for additional options for the vote and then let's use another week for voting.

http://wiki.debian.org/Games/VCS/Guidelines currently contains B.
