And in the process, PLEASE rename Debian Maintainer to something that
isn't completely confusing given the existence of a Maintainer field in
all of our packages and all the other uses of "maintainer" in Debian that
pre-existed the Debian Maintainer system and mean something else entirely.

I'm happy to propose a GR to do that (and also make it clear that such
details can be changed going forward without a GR) if that will help.
