5.11.7. NMUs vs team uploads
Sometimes you are fixing and/or updating a package because you are member of a packaging team (which uses a mailing list as Maintainer
or Uploader
; see Collaborative maintenance) but you don’t want to add yourself to Uploaders
because you do not plan to contribute regularly to this specific package. If it conforms with your team’s policy, you can perform a normal upload without being listed directly as Maintainer
or Uploader
. In that case, you should start your changelog entry with the following line:
* Team upload.
