Once the list of uploader is known, it's possible to create a script that use 
cme (as command or as Perl function).

e.g, if you want to remove uploader foo, bar and baz, you can use the 
following line in a bash script

$ cme modify dpkg-control source Uploaders:-~/foo|bar|baz/

or a similar line in a Perl script (which should be faster):

 use Config::Model qw(cme);
 foreach my $package (@pkgs) {
 chdir ($package);
 cme('dpkg-control')->modify("source Uploaders:-~/foo|bar|baz/");
 }
