right so we're on the same page:
if we're talking 'upload rights to a specific' package then it's 'packaging
experience with that specific package' that counts.
Hence any experience with a second package shouldn't be required for getting
upload rights to a first package. If on the other hand you've already
demonstrated packaging skills with x packages then it should be easier to
get upload rights for the package x+1.

I agree with a lower limit, but I think it would be better of to specify it
in terms of "certain number of uploads" as opposed to "some time limit":
I might have done 1 upload and just wait a 3 months, or I could have done
several uploads over that same period
-> that would lead to:
- first x packages: needs to have passed lower limit of experience with
package in question (for whatever test of 'experience' we end up with)
- further packages: need to find sponsor to do initial upload, but DM
should be able to get upload rights ASAP after that

format mails to a low priority folder (they're mainly spam)
