Fully agreed.

Agreed as well. This is what we do in Debian-Med: who's really concerned about
a package (i.e. did the packaging, has particular interest, ...) adds himself
to Uploaders. (in Debian-Perl, instead, only DD/DMs were added to Uploaders)
However, I think we should write a sort of "Policy" of the group. Recently I
wrote Debian-Med's one [1], we could take that as reference.
Kindly,
David
