Not yet. As it stands, the rule already applies to the first upload of a package into Debian. If you don't find another uploader in the time frame between ITP and first upload, the package has no change to be in the team. Which is sad. I often get interested in packages after having used them and realized their value. Having to move the package around from collab-maint for the mere reason of adding myself as an uploader sounds like an unnecessary entrance burden to me. Also, being team-maintained although there is (currently) only one active maintainer has another advantage: You get your bugs reported to the list and thus exposed to more eyes. I often find myself reading through bug reports for packages that I am totally not affiliated with and tring to share my opinion. So, if your package is team-maintained, although if you are the only active uploader, doesn't mean you are on your own. There are always some more eyes looking at the package. At least there is a higher chance to. I think we should group packages in pkg-multimedia by context rather than by number of active uploaders. If it is multimedia-related, it should be in the team. I find this more honest than a second uploader half-heartedly adding himself to debian/control just to get things proceeding. And by the current rule, would libav still qualify as being pkg-multimedia team-maintained? - Fabian
