That sounds like it could be a good idea.  I think it would be good
for the changelog to identify who did the upload, maybe just as
information in the comments section or maybe as the real name next to
the address.

As long as all of the source code for the upload is in the shared
repository, I don't think an upload should be considered "NMU" because
the "M" doesn't need to obtain and integrate the changes because they
are already in the repository.  This is one significant advantage I
can see with using a repository to manage the package as opposed to a
single person with just their own hard drive.
