And what would you do when the maintainer reverts the NMU?

tech-ctte rules on *technical* issues, so this doesn't really seem
within their  mandate. And the community team has no powers on the
contents of packages.

The DPL might be able to act under 5.1.4, but I'd consider highly
dubious that overriding the person responsible for something is a
legitimate "decision for whom no one else has responsibility".

If 5.1.4 can't be invoked, I suppose there's no other way short of a
GR. In fact, I'm not sure that even a GR can overrule a maintainer on
a nontechnical issue (4.1.5 is only about "policy documents and
statements").
