That's definitely true.

It *might* be worth having a short cut so that instead of having to
become a DM, then get someone to sponsor your next upload so you can
add DM-Upload-Allowed, and only then be able to make your next upload
directly, to have a "Packages:" field in the changeset which serves as
a way of retrospectively adding DM-U-A to the current version of the
package in the archive.

There's still a few DMs who can't actually upload anything who might have
benefited from that:
