Why teams, or teams defined where? If myapps is the UI for defining
those teams, it might be simpler to use if you just "Add uploaders"
rather than "create new uploader team" and "Add uploader to team" etc.
(I'm assuming you're not talking about LP teams).

... to upload a specific app right? (ie. they'd be able to upload
fooapp.example.com, rather than general upload access to any app under
the *.example.com namespace which is linked to the original person who
registered the app).
