Bug#343871: vdr - lists mailing list as uploader in changelog

And I thought the last time this was discussed on -devel, we had no
clear consensus this was a sufficiently heinous act that the package
should not be part of the next stable release.  Suboptimal? probably.
RC?  I thought the consensus was no.
