Hello,
since yesterday I am Debian Maintainer, but now I have a question:
How is the actual status of using the DM-Upload-Allowed field/bit?
In http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer [1] is said, that I should
add a new line in debian/control file with: "DM-Upload-Allowed: yes"
and upload the updated package to mentors.d.o.
On the other hand some new Debian Maintainers write in their RFS:
"I would be most grateful if a kind sponsor would set the
DM-Upload-Allowed bit"
which seems that the sponsor must set a bit. And these packages does
not have "DM-Upload-Allowed: yes" in debian/control file.
Fondest regards,
Joachim Wiedorn

Uploading packages
==================
Once you have your key in the debian-maintainers keyring, you will be
able to upload packages, where the following conditions hold:
* the package already lists you in the Maintainer or the Uploaders
control fields
* the package already has the DM-Upload-Allowed: yes control field
* the package is not NEW
