Quite apart from the issue of deciding whether or not something is 'team maintained' in all cases, if you are a member of the team and you are making uploads to the package, then you should just add yourself to uploaders, surely...? That said, the option so far which is least bad is "Team Upload" in the same way as "QA Upload", i.e. no NMU version number, no NMU procedures, no delay, etc, just something to ack the mismatch of changed-by and uploaders/maintainer.
