Ahh, hmm. I think that is the wrong way to remind people to get
uploaders. A TODO item would be a better way IMO.

I don't think there are enough people in or interested in Debian to have
a co-maintainer for every package in Debian. There aren't even enough
for every package to have a maintainer, in Debian and upstream.

I think the Uploaders should be removed from all packages where it is
empty and the TODO item remain for "important" packages.
