I do not think that such a list would contain more than 10 names after removing the MIA DDs. Most of the aggressivity on Debian Planet, and most of the examples I received in private in the past point at the same person, which makes me strongly think that all this resistance around source-only uploads is more due to the incapacity of solving a couple of social problems, than to a general tendency of the DD corpus of not caring what they do. PS: I acknowledge that the couple of DDs suspected of sloppyness maintain a large number of packages, which from your end makes slopiness a problem in general.
