For major updates that has reverse dependencies, some one should approve. It 
can even be anyone in the team and not just a fixed smaller group. At least one 
other person should approve.

The request should include if they ran autopkgtests and rebuilds of affected 
packages and list any failed packages.

It can even be auto approval in case no one objects in a week's time.

The more important part is asking before upload, than who gets to approve. We 
can document this in js team policy.

Ruby team already documented it (expectations from people uploading breaking 
changes)
