Hi,
  I have now updated net-snmp to use the new style teams. You'll see that
the control file is now:

Maintainer: Debian SNMP Team <team+snmp at tracker.debian.org>
Uploaders: Craig Small <csmall at debian.org>,
Thomas Anders <tanders at users.sourceforge.net>,
Noah Meyerhans <noahm at debian.org>

You can use the same maintainer if you like, its a generic SNMP team rather
than net-snmp specific, though of course at the moment its the only package
in that team.
The uploaders of course would be different for your package.

 - Craig
