</span>Too much freedom to upload without notifying those who are responsible for<br>
package. Lack of notion that Team upload is a rough equivalent to NMU hence<br>
notification is a must as well as delay (through DELAYED queue or other<br>
means).<br>
Alexandre wants to ensure that everyone can upload everything without talking<br>
but team maintenance should be more about communication.<br>
For example one might want to upload new upstream release of a package<br>
without telling Uploaders. But new release may not be uploaded for reason<br>
like when Uploaders (who presumably follow upstream development) are aware of<br>
regression or disruptive change in new release and prefer to wait for update.<br>
In number of cases upload can be held by known upstream bugs etc. Therefore<br>
one who wants to upload must communicate and not just do as (s)he pleased<br>
without even sending an email to those who migh be aware of specifics and<br>
situation.<br>
<br>
We are all here to help each other but let's not forget about importance of<br>
communication.<br>
