Sounds fine.  Although I would use different wording;  I think the strict
definition of "ftpmaster" doesn't match with "whoever processes NEW".

How about:

  "... may be performed by any of the developers (however, 
  moving packages in distributions other than "unstable" or "experimental" may
  still require approval by the corresponding Release Team and/or by the
  FTP Archive Team)"
