No, if you refer to Changed-By.
AFAIK (correct me if I'm wrong), Changed-By represents the person
responsible for the source of a given upload (the person who made the
last changelog entry), not the person responsible for the upload
itself (which may be a porter).
In either case, I really mean stop relaying on the Maintainer field
and relaying on the gpg signature as the primary method for sending
notifications.
