Maintainer: field in .changes



Hello,

I am a bit confused about the usage of the Maintainer field in .changes
files.

ftp://ftp-master.debian.org/pub/UploadQueue/README states that the
Maintainer field of the .changes file should contain the uploader's
email, whereas 
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-beyond-pkging.en.html#s-newmaint suggests that it should be the real maintainer.

What is the correct policy? Should the automatically generated .changes
file be updated to include the uploader's email?

Thanks,
Adriaan Peeters
