The real bug title should probably be "Allow more of the core 
development team access to upload to dlang.org".

Yourself and many others should be able to update the public 
website. As far as I know it's just Walter and Andrei at the 
moment who can do it. Right now is the perfect example of why 
only having two uploaders is a problem. Both of them are busy at 
a conference.  I believe Walter defers all the uploading to 
Andrei.  Trusted group of developers is larger enough that it 
doesn't make sense to have all of the burden and bottleneck on 
Andrei.

Even better, I think, would be to have the website just update 
automatically from git (nightly, perhaps).  Have a script that 
generates the website from a git tag (or even better, a branch 
called "public" so hotfixes can be made) and uploads it to 
dlang.org.  Also add preview.dlang.org which just uploads the 
website generated from d-p-l/{dlang.org,phobos,druntime}:master 
(sometimes people report bugs in the website that have already 
been fixed in master).
