I feel NMU is less appropriate a term nowadays. NMU stands for
an "upload". To an ftp directory. We don't do these things today,
do we? Another inappropriate term that comes from Debian is "the
incoming". We used to have an "incoming", too. It's just a jargon
associated with poor development practices and poor build technologies.
Another ground for criticism is that maintainership becomes increasingly
blurred - we have ACL, and it tends to include @everybody by default.
