No, that's not what you gain from following that logic.

Again, you put people in the list who are maintaining the package. If
you have never performed an upload, you are not a maintainer. As
simple as that.

No, but it it's common sense not to put your name under something
which you didn't author, no? You can feel free if you actually started
changing something on the package regularly. If you never looked at
the package or maybe changed only a line or two, it doesn't make any
sense to list you as an active maintainer.
The idea of the Maintainers/Uploaders field is to list people who are
currently responsible for the package and know the packaging. Why
should your name be listed in the field if you don't know anything
about the package?
