I maintain bulky C++ packages, and I also had a little experience reviewing packages on behalf of ftp-team. A -- Some (e.g. C++) packages may frequently enter the NEW queue, with OLD src and NEW bins (e.g. SOVERSION bump). A portion of devs feel it is not necessary for frequently because it drastically slows down the maintainer's work. In the worst case, when the package finally passed the NEW queue, the maintainer may have to go through NEW queue again upon the next upload. (This is very likely to happen for tensorflow, etc).I have heard this argument and my mail was simply to find out what fellow developers think about this. IMHO the issue is sufficiently important to have some kind of documented consensus about this.
It's not only the copyright that the ftp-master are responsible for. New binaries fill a place in the Debian namespace and they *are* the keepers of that.
