Erm... because that's how policy defines the field. Section 5.6.3 - http://www.us.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Uploaders - to be precise. Uploaders lists addresses which are not the address listed in Maintainer: but from which uploads should not be considered NMUs. That effectively makes those addressess co-maintainers (admittedly it may require a small leap to extend that to "maintainer is a mailing list with named developers as co-maintainers", but it's really not that difficult and more of a hop than a leap).
