Indeed -- I think this is a systematic problem in the Debian community.

One technical way to improve matters is to design technical solutions
that doesn't lead to concentration of power.  I'm not saying that any
power is actively mis-used here, it is just that with powers comes
responsibilities and for a volunteer organization, and having
responsibilities that aren't easily shared leads to efficiency issues.

I wouldn't really want to find myself in either of the tag2upload OR the
FTP Team in a situation like this, and it is probably frustrating for
both teams.  The problem isn't the other team, it is how these things
are setup in the first place.
