Bug#630578: debian-policy: clarify usage of Uploaders field



Hi,

I will second Emilio's response here... In the Debian Perl Group, I
have been marked Uploader of many of our packages (though I'm not yet
a DD), since otherwise Lintian complains about it (with the exception
of the more recently introduced new Team Upload syntax).

I would suggest that anyone who is listed in d/changelog (in the
trailer lines) should also be listed in Uploaders, unless they have
explicitly asked to be removed, or unless the relevant changelog
entries have been marked Team Upload or Non-maintainer Upload.

I think that anyone who considers themselves a custodian of the
package(s) in question should be added to Uploaders, whether or not
they are a DD, and whether or not they actually do the uploading (e.g.
if the package is being sponsored, the sponsor need not add themselves
to Uploaders if they do not wish to do so).

Hope this helps,

Jonathan
