Do we really want that? What's the rationale behind it? On the camp we
talked that it's a good thing if we're not locking down packages to
specific people. Part of that is the change of wording to "Last uploaded by".

I looked at albumshaper. It is built with GCC 3, so I looked why - it
turns out it depends on KDE. We don't have KDE in the repository any
more, but the old packages are installed on the buildfarm, so the
build runs for now. But when we clean the buildfarm from the packages
that we dropped from the catalog, the build will no longer run as is,
e.g. qmake from KDE will be gone.

The good news is that we have CSWqt4-gxx-dev[1] which brings us qmake
from QT4. So I'm guessing that unless albumshaper requires more KDE
components, it could be built with QT4 from /opt/csw/gxx.

Thoughts?
