[Pkg-crosswire-devel] debian/control Maintainer field

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Heya

Please double check. Quite a few people have DM upload tag in control, yet
they maintain packages part of the Debian python modules team. If there are
changes required to allow you become DM, I'm all for it. E.g. Move you to
maintainer and stick the team into uploaders field. Or something like that.
I'm still in progress to become DD. I didn't apply for DM.

Regards.
