Or if one really wants to, they could set up a filter in their email client and/or server, to filter out such emails. This requires extra work, just like your suggestion above.Consider somebody being an active momeber of a larger team and leaving it. He would continue to receive the mails sent uploaders. And the only way to "unsubsribe" would be to make a (possibly huge) number of sourceful uploads.
I agree with the Marc's reply to my earlier email that this is a feature. Metadata should be uptodate. There is, of course, a question whether "the current maintainers of a package" metadata field even makes sense to have in binary or even source packages.
