GNOME and Debian-BR teams, any ideas on creating a single package to provide meta-information for all teams in Debian? This way we will avoid creating a package for each team, when all they need is a canonical list of uploaders... read below:

Yeah, the problem here is mainly the list of people who are part of the team. It must be in a canonical, central location, and the solution 'till now is using a package to carry this list. Maybe we can create a single package to carry all the teams meta-info in the future? > Please, think of the archive. Yeah...
