First of, could we please not get territorial? We are all after the same
thing, aren't we?

Second, as you found out already, I did talk about this -and all of my
other changes- in a number of emails that you and everyone else in the
team was Cc'ed on. I mailed itemized lists with changes and waited for
feedback from everyone and moved ahead slowly (but steadily). I pinged a
few of you repeatedly on #debian-devel (IRC) as well, to seek input and
feedback and to make sure I was on the right track. Having a mailing
list to be having these discussions in was the obvious next step, as I
was getting a little lost on private emails, plus they aren't public nor
archived.

I'm sorry for not explicitly waiting for your ack, however it was pretty
clear to me that the package was team-maintained already and the lack of
the team mailing list was just a technicality. (I still believe this to
be the case).

What is the problem that you see with having the package be
team-maintained exactly? (or to flip the question: what would reverting
that commit accomplish right now?).

Also, FTR:
$ git shortlog -sn --since "1 year ago"
    59  Faidon Liambotis
    27  Matteo F. Vescovi
    14  Evgeni Golov
     8  Antonio Radici
     2  Christoph Berg
     1  Andreas Metzler
     1  James McCoy
     1  Sebastian Ramacher

(and the nature of those changes is indicative too)
