Even if the maintainer doesn't want to subvert proper procedure, the ‘DM-Upload-Allowed’ field is an attractive nuisance. As a first-time maintainer, it's all too easy to think that setting that field to “Yes” is *helping* one's sponsor save time. The field should go away and be replaced with an out-of-band setting that only a sponsor can change. -- \ “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though | `\ nothing is a miracle.
