Version: 2.17.0
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

it would be nice if dch could allow combining -r with --team. It
should do the same as dch -r but it should additionally add a "Team
upload." changelog comment as first entry.

Here's an example of how it should work:

-foobar (1.0.1-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
+foobar (1.0.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

+ * Team upload.
  * New upstream release.
  * Foo bar.

- -- John Doe <john.doe at foo.bar> Wed, 16 Jan 2017 14:14:14 +0100
+ -- John Doe <john.doe at foo.bar> Wed, 18 Jan 2017 16:16:16 +0100


Currently one has to manually add the "Team upload." comment before doing
dch -r.

Doing a dch --team just before the dch -r command won't work, as it adds a
hole new changelog section with an incremented release number.

Thanks,
Andreas
