If I understand this correctly, dm's are not allowed to upload

Correct. The DM permissions that you have received are static and if
you tried
to upload anything outside these static permissions, you will get a
REJECT.
(I could not find this documented in Debian Policy or Developers
Reference BTW,
so maybe I am wrong with the above assumption?)
No, it's just not documented.
The authoritative documentation is (sadly) in a GR:
https://www.debian.org/vote/2007/vote_003
And it was unclear how much of it can actually be changed without a GR -
despite ~all bullet points saying "initial policy". A power to set
policy has not been conferred to a team with this GR. At least that's
what I recall. ;-)
