Hi David,
I think that there are multiple ways to regulate DM upload:
- The package is DM-Upload-Allowed: yes, but the DM is not yet uploader,
- The DM is uploader but the package is not yet DM-Upload-Allowed: yes.
- The pakage is DM-Upload-Allowed: yes, the maintainer is uploader, but not DM.
In all these three scenarios, the DM will not get upload rights by accident.
People on -mentors tend to be more conservative because they are worried that
once upload rights are given, the maintainer will isolate and not seek advices
anmore, but in the case of our team-maintained package, there is much more
control, and many pairs of eyes can see on the commit mailing lists if something
wrong is happening.
Have a nice day,
