I think that if such a change is made to the Uploaders: field of a package without the maintainer's approval, this means that instead of just hijacking the package, you've hijacked the package and then *lied* about it. It isn't comaintenance unless the parties explicitly agree to it. If you meant that Nelson would only be added to the Uploaders: field with Matthew's approval, then I guess I don't know why the QA team's input would be required.
