I don't really like to make a policy on that kind of stuff. Different people
prefer different tools and I don't see any reason to force them to use
something they don't really like.

No - the "Maintainer" field may only include a single entry. See policy 5.6.2
(in contrast "Uploaders" [please note the plural, see 5.6.3] contains a list).
