I am sorry, I was not clear there (it was pretty late after all).

I agree with the direction of the policy change, although I think it
falls a bit short of would I would like to happen.

And I was worried in general with the discussion, because I had the
impression, from Dmitry's comments, that the changes were going to more
towards individual ownership.

Sadly, this status quo is not written in any document to show. If you
read their policy, being in Uploaders only shows you have devoted some
significant work to that package, or you feel some responsibility for it.

Mostly, what I don't like is that ownership of packages seems somehow
still encouraged. Or at the same level as total team maintenance.


Also, I think it lacks some notes on how to communicate with other
people when working on a package.

To make it clearer and to the point, I made an ammendment myself
addressing these points, attached below.

Although I presume this change might not be acceptable for some people,
I think the notes about changelog handling would be a good addition.
