Hmm, this was likely an oversight on my part. The real goal was to allow 
Kamal the ability to set Launchpad nominations for releases, though 
granting him upload rights did not do what I expected.

In a practical sense the kernel team doesn't require per-package upload 
rights since we use a team de-virtualized PPA for all kernel packages. 
One must be a member of the Canonical kernel team in order to upload. 
Packages are then copied from this PPA directly to the archive by a 
core-dev after having passed a battery of SRU testing, thereby adhering 
to the spirit of per package upload rights.

Mea culpa. What action would you like me to take ? I have complete faith 
in Kamal. He is, after all, a Debian developer as well as an upstream 
stable kernel maintainer.
