How does that actually work? Is there a GnuPG key for the list or do
all uploads just happen via the co-maintainers?

I'm not sure I'm the right person to fix the current bugs in dpkg-cross
but I can help out - I'll take a look at 379597 as part of the debconf
thing and maybe apt-cross can provide a solution for 113279 but those
are minor bugs. It may be best if I'm listed as another co-maintainer for
Debian.

If you or others have ideas on how to fix some of the more important
bugs listed against dpkg-cross, I'll test and do what I can.
