an alternative that I was thinking of, is making this "everybody is onboard"
policy more explicit by having a special email to use for the Maintainer
field. For example:
Maintainer: Debian community <debian-community@lists.debian.org>
The stewards of the package could be listed as Uploaders, as it currently
happens with team-maintained packages.
We don't need new vocabulary and a new mailing list for this.
Let's use:
Maintainer: Debian developers <debian-devel@lists.debian.org>
Maintainer: Debian contributors <debian-devel@lists.debian.org>
(lowercase 'd' deliberate)
We could replace the LowNMU wiki list with this, right now.
