Ah, indeed.

Yes please. Personally I don't think we need separate terms for voting member with uploading rights and those without such rights; in the few cases where the difference matters, it's easier (I think also better) to spell it out rather than having yet another Debian specific term. But we can discuss that when the issue comes up on -vote. -- I wrote a book on personal productivity: http://gtdfh.branchable.com/
