I did not get Julien's point. I understand, while not sharing it, the
desire of keeping a distinction between uploaders and non-uploaders. But
this can be technically enforced performing an intersection between the
last n-th workers in the changelog and the actual uploaders kept into a
file.

I do understand this point, still thinking that an NMUer has the duty to
follow the evolution of her NMUed package. And even in this case NMUers
not part of our team can be easily filtered out technically.
But hey, this is such a change that require (IMO) unanimous agreement
upon. If some of us do not feel comfortable about that ... let's just
forget it, it's not a big deal :)
Cheers.
