I fail to see in how far using the mailing list as Maintainer is
imposing work on anybody who does not volunteer to add himself as
Uploader.  Could you please be more verbose about this?

We just had a case (ball) where an RC bug droped from our radar which
could be easily preventet if everybody who commits to our VCS would
follow policy (and for this purpose it was written there).

If you file an ITP bug this is a sure sign that you are somehow honest
about your intent - so please put it in package maintenance to enable
(not impose ... we are volunteers, right) others touching the package if
needed.

Kind regards
