As one of the maintainers of molly-guard, I must have missed something. 
Is molly-guard considered unmaintained for some reason? Or is this an 
encrypted hint that one of the people listed in molly-guard's Uploaders 
field is MIA or no longer a DD or DM?

If the latter is the case, I am pretty sure that I don't want the duty 
of having to check the Uploaders list whenever I do an upload. That 
should be left to an automated process. I don't see an action-requesting 
issue in a person who is no longer DD/DM to be listed in Uploaders, they 
couldn't do an upload anyway. I will of course modify the Uploaders 
field when somebody asks me to, but I am not willing to manually 
research that every time I do an upload unless, for example, lintian has 
grown a check.
