But the .dsc is.  This stuff is easily traceable, if we want to.  I can
see the benefit of having the same name in the Maintainer field and in the
changelog for some.  I can see arguments against it, but none that make
it an RC bug.  We still have the original signatures on the dsc and
changes to find out who uploaded it, if we're interested.
