We risk another non-obvious name here: the uploader need not be the compiler. Take for example security uploads, where the package is autobuilded, but uploaded by someone from the security team. The concept is good, but the name Uploader would become confusing, which is why I suggested Compiled-by. It's probably not the best name, but it covers what it's inteded for (or at least what I intend for it to be intended for :).
