I mostly agree with this :-p. FWIW, the d1h thread on dev1galaxy does
mention precisely this.
Uploaders field gets removed, Maintainer to last person who touched it.

ATM that kind of removes any "implied ownership, power, and control over
a package." which, right now is pretty much a good thing, because it
means anyone can just jump in and continue working on a package.

Besides that, workgroups are a great thing! But ATM it's not worth it;
kind of the same for "official @devuan.org" emails.

I'd guess we should keep an eye on it to recognise the moment in which
this lack of separation becomes more of an issue than a feature :).
