Actually I think ftp-master are having already too much power as a decision instance without real legitimation. Establishing yet another interface for them to block maintainers would need a resolution by the community that we are willing to delegate the job of verifying packages to them. In my situation ftp.masters once rejected a package because of licensing issues (which was ok), but then i reuploaded the package and the rejected it because of a missing (unneeded) configure option to exclude ssl. I think the time of the ftp masters could be spend on other issues without stepping on ppls feet.
