Actually I think ftp-master are having already too much power as a decision
instance without real legitimation. Establishing yet another interface for
them to block maintainers would need a resolution by the community that we
are willing to delegate the job of verifying packages to them.
In my situation ftp.masters once rejected a package because of licensing
issues (which was ok), but then i reuploaded the package and the rejected it
because of a missing (unneeded) configure option to exclude ssl. I think the
time of the ftp masters could be spend on other issues without stepping on
ppls feet.
