I decided to start uploading to unstable, without waiting for the
resolution of this override issue (which is anyways relatively minor).

My idea is to create a wiki page where we would fill a matrix: in
columns the team members, in rows the packages. A checked box means that
the given person is interested in the given package. That would give us
an overview of who is interested in what, and we could reflect that in
the Uploaders field. For those package in which no one is interested, we
could keep the status quo.

This is however not of very high priority, so I won’t start this before
the post-release dust settles.
