Hey :-)
I'm late to the party, but there actually is/was a rationale for
keeping the Uploaders field intact: It's simply that we don't need to
modify it for PureOS as all packages are effectively team-maintained
by PureOS developers anyway, and by changing it there would be one
more thing to amend and one more delta to Debian to take care of. So
leaving it as-is is just a convenience/laziness issue ;-)

I have no feelings in either direction for changing the status quo (if
we do, having a tool like Ubuntu's update-maintainer[1] would be nice
though...)

Cheers,
