The DEP-5 machine readable copyright is optional - from the spec:
"Use of this specification is optional."

It's not a bad thing to do, but isn't a good reason to delay uploading a
version which fixes RC bugs.
I sponsored the previous upload, but probably won't be able to sponsor
an upload in the near future as I'm travelling with a slow netbook which
would be painful to build the package on. I'm completely happy for
Mattia or someone else to sponsor though.
Cheers,
