It's got mostly to do with new maintainers, or people who could become
maintainers. We already have the culture of courtesy non-maintainer
package uploads, but it's not visible on the outside, for example on
the website. There is certain attachment of a package to its
maintainer, but it's not as strong as it used to appear on the package
pages. The new wording ("Last uploaded by") sends a better message.
