Well, I still like the idea of a NMU source maintainer, who has control over directories named dists/*/*/source/*/NMU, and who manually coordinates those sources that are currently sent to the BTS. (so this person wouldn't handle all NMUs, just porters') People really should be creating multi-platform source, and when they don't the result should be ugly. But this requires time to implement. If we decide to go with (i) right away, will Guy (or whoever) be calling for old orig.tar.gz and diff.gz files? I _think_ I still have them.
