Most definitely not, we are a very friendly team and welcome every 
helping hand. I could not imagine Reinhard or Andres (the to others 
listed as Uploaders) would mind if you sponsored an Upload. Although 
joining the team and adding yourself to Uploaders would be 
appreciated, of course.

I guess so. We are in a freeze and I believe they have more important 
things to do.

In one of his previous mails Niv told me that handbrake would 
currently FTBFS. I am not sure why this happens, but it may be due to 
Debian's unpatched a52dec library and handbrake patch 0009 being disabled.

Apart from that, IMHO all that's needed is a rebuild of the source 
tarball. Unfortunately, I don't have the spare time right now to do 
this myself and I am not sure about integration with uscan(1).
