[maemo-developers] Maemo extras repository package uploader/maintainer verification?

[From: Nathan Anderson]

Ok, I think I must be confused; I was under the impression that you leave
the maintainer field alone if all you are doing it packaging it up for the
maemo platform.    I don't actually "maintain" any of the code for several
of the projects that I have uploaded.   All I've done is did the work to
"package" it up.
Am I supposed to put in the maintainer field my name, or leave it as the
original team that wrote it.  The only thing I change is the changelog to
show that the program was packaged by me.  (i.e. sword library, kernel
modules)
