With regards to permissions, there is no difference between Maintainer
and Uploaders, but I believe there are a few small differences like
the Maintainer being the one that receives emails when bugs are
reported (maybe that's the only difference).
Our policy says we must put the team in the Maintainer field and
humans on Uploaders, as seen: on
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#the-maintainer-of-a-package
It's worth noting that the naming of those fields should not be misled
with the idea of maintainer of the package; we say everybody in
Maintainer + Uploaders is the maintainer of a package.

No worries, it didn't sound rude but even if it did, I would assume
good intentions :)

I believe there's just one last thing before I can sponsor the upload,
can you add the relevant Vcs-* fields and point to the repo under the
team?
Thank you for your contributions!
