I think in the beginning this was intentional (see the markup for the
None string to convince yourself of this :-) ).

However now it is probably pointless since the habit of Uploaders is
well known. So I'm in favour of fixing this bug of yours.

Or, at least, we should choose among:

1) decide that not having at least Uploader is bad, and mention this in
   the TODO/Problem section (but IIRC we already have something such for
   important packages, for some definition of important)
2) deciding that it is not a PTS concern and then hide the field
   following the PTS mantra that only available information are shown,
   hence hiding empty Uploader fields

Comments?
