Completely fine by me. You will just need one of us to upload? If so, just ping me by mail or on IRC. Setting a policy for tagging and the like is a very good idea. I think that the package being either native or non-native is a tricky question. I'd rather see it as non native but that indeed would mean that we also release "upstream" versions and separate things that pertain to upstream from things that pertain to Debian. If we look at the current SVN version, nearly all uploads should really go in an "upstream" release indeed.
