JFTR: http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/policy.html says: "When modifying a package in the repository, you should add your name to the Uploaders file. You should keep the names of other maintainers who added their name before you. In other words, the Uploaders field must be updated to contain everyone that worked on the package. The Maintainer field must remain unchanged after the first import." That's at least the wording of the status quo.
