Sorry, I should have asked you first before doing it.  BTW, I would like to
know whether Jörg also wish his name removed from the Uploaders list.

Some clarifications about the Uploaders field:

a) People listed there must not necessarily be Debian developers (cf Policy
   [1])

b) Up tonow, all the uploads of the jed-related packages were done with my
   name in the trailer line.  This is not obligatory and we will eventually
   have cases were I do not change the package and do an upload prepared by
   another co-maintainer.  In this case, his/her name will appear in the
   trailer line and Lintian will complain if there is no matching name/email
   in Uploaders.

c) People appearing in the Uploaders list have also their names in the
   package web page (like mine in [2]) as well as in the QA overview page
   (like mine in [3]).  I think that you guys (Günter and Jörg) largely
   deserve this.

If you change your mind about having the name in the Uploaders list, please
revert your change.
