Thanks Thomas for your feedback. So I understand that you prefer not to
be listed in the Uploaders field of any package, though you may still do
team uploads.

So, out of the 54 packages maintained by the DOG, 29 have at least one
person (out of Mike, Rafael and myself) interested in maintaining them.
For those 29 packages, I therefore suggest to update the Uploaders field
in git according to the wiki page. Is that ok?

Then, for the remaining 25 packages, we have to find another solution.
Among those, 5 packages (benchmark, mapping, nnet, octgpr, plot) are
marked as unmaintained upstream (see
http://octave.sourceforge.net/packages.php), so I guess we could request
their removal.

That leaves us with 20 packages to be adopted. I see two possible
solutions: either list all team members in the Uploaders field, or
distribute packages randomly across team members. I guess the former
solution is better. What do you think?
