Mostly, because the term "upstream" doesn't communicate any useful
information about what it is expected to mean, and, it reduces the
usefulness of this field to excluding people who might pass for
"watcher" but don't pass for "upstream"

There are already "upstream" fields in other parts of metadata.xml, but
none of them indicate definitively if upstream should (or shouldn't) be
CC'd on literally every bug.

All <maintainer type="upstream"> fit within 
<maintainer type="watcher">, but not all <maintainer type="watcher">
fits within <maintainer type="upstream">
