Hi Felipe,
I would say that as the person sponsoring and signing the upload you are
the person who is responsible for it, and the changelog should show your
name.
Perhaps the person who did the bulk of the work before you reviewed the
package and uploaded it should put their name as a line in the changelog
saying something like:
* Packaging by Joe Cool <joe@example.cool> for sponsored upload.
Regards,
Andrew McMillan.
