multiple uploaders

Hi Reinhard,

Just answering this unanswered question from the thread as I have
nothing more (worth adding) to the rest. And everyone is probably tired :-)

I think there are already two emails. The ITP states that someone wants
to package something, and that they would like it to be maintained under
the multimedia umbrella. We would just need to pay attention to that
email and chime in with an "excellent/go for it", or a "I think we
already have enough....". Then the one preparing the package does not
need to be worried about pushing to the repo. It can always be deleted
later anyway.

At the point where the package is ready for review, or ready for upload
(for the more experienced in the team), the usual question can be asked
if there are others interested in "paying closer attention" to the package.

Cheers,

Ross
