Here's another idea:
We revert the active sqeezing of Uploaders, unless a DM requests for the
DM-Upload-allowed flag. In this case, the DM needs to prepare the
package for this in SVN - add the flag, add himself in Uploads, ask for
all other non upploading Uploaders if it is OK to remove them (unless
they've stated it is generally OK before, as gregoa :)
Yes, this looks like a workaround that places more burder on DM's
shoulders. But it also would have triggered this discussion before
Xavier's removal, not after it.
Yes, it may make DM concept slightly less aplicable within the group,
but I am fine with this, as it is not that desperately needed anyway
(for reference, see the "ready for upload" section on our QA page[1])

Applying for DM (which seems to be what Xavier is indenting to do) just
to work around our policy seems not right in my eyes. I really wonder
what he'll write in his application as a reason for applying.
