You are.  I have been told that the Uploaders field is not meant to be
somehow checked against the person who signs the upload, and is badly
named.  From the Policy:

,----
| 5.6.3 Uploaders
| 
| List of the names and email addresses of co-maintainers of the
| package, if any. If the package has other maintainers beside the one
| named in the Maintainer field, they their names and email addresses
| should be listed here.
`----

So it seems right to put you there.
