I feel the same.
I want to second this idea. I am very open to any and all collaboration, even from someone who just wants to contribute one item and not be involved in the future. But, please, please, coordinate first. Even for team maintained packages, I feel that coordination should happen first with those listed as uploaders. I always do so when uploading other people’s packages as a team member and I enjoy it when others do the same for packages where I am listed as an uploader. This prevents an enormous amount of problems, especially those that might affect related packages. Of course, if the uploaders are unresponsive for a period of time appropriate for the severity of the issue being addressed by the upload, then it is totally appropriate for someone else to go ahead and perform a team upload or an NMU. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
