I agree. I think the recently restated way of interpreting those two fields
made the most sense to me, and gives team members the choice of how to handle
those packages.
* Team in Maintainers is a strong statement that fully collaborative
maintenance is preferred. Anyone can commit to the vcs and upload as
needed. A courtesy email to Uploaders can be nice but not required.
* Team in Uploaders is a weak statement of collaboration. Help in maintaining
the package is appreciated, commits to vcs are freely welcomed, but before
uploading, please contact the Maintainer for the green light.
Cheers,
