why not change the current 'Maintainers' file format:
<package name> <developper name> <developper email>
into:
<package name> <developper name> <developper email> <last upload date>
I guess this should be easy to generate automatically (Guy?), and it will
provide an easy way to check which package have not been uploaded since a
loooooong time.
