I will hold my hand up if IOhannes doesn't. It definitely looks like
something that should be packaged for the benefit of linux music
studios. Of course IOhannes is also in a position to help with the
initial upload.

As a bit of a new boy here, what is the purpose of the 2nd uploader
rule? I can see that it helps to ensure a check that the package is a
good fit with the team before it is uploaded, and it also protects a
little against someone joining the team to get a package uploaded and
then running away (which should not be necessary for a long term, proven
member of the team). Surely if something happened to someone who was the
only uploader, the rest of the team would notice and someone would step
in to help? If I list myself as uploader, then that normally means I am
subscribed to upstream mailing lists, watching commits, and triaging
bugs as they come in (unless the other uploaders beat me to it :-) )

Cheers,

Ross
