What if I want to make a change and upload it, but not become a
permanent maintainer of the package? I had loads of such cases,
especially with packages depending on old libraries. I want to remove
an old library, so I rebuild packages depending on it. Obviously, most
of these packages are not maintained. But I only care about them not
depending on a legacy dependency I want to kill, I don't want to spend
weeks on all the bugs that such package might have filed in Mantis.

Currently, the result is that I have a lot of bugs assigned to me,
which are legitimate bugs, but I have no intention to fix them,
because I didn't want to take over these packages. But the mechanics
of our uploads work in such a way that it's impossible not to appear
as the main maintainer after you've uploaded a package.
