     If a developer decides to formalize a co-maintainer for a
package, he will look in Policy for a description of the field.  Is it
"Uploader:" or "Uploaders:"?  May it include commas or other
punctuation?  Having such information conveniently available in Policy
is preferable to searching the archives of -devel for that
information.

Regards,

Bob
