Ok. Is it normal that it is not updated yet on this page? On the wiki
it's said that this upstream metadata file is used outside the package,
directly from the git repo. Or is there an error in the file that
prevents the page from being updated?

I was referring to http://upstream-metadata.debian.net/ that is linked
on the wiki page https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamMetadata
I forgot to mention that Cyril added himself in the list of maintainers
to be able to add entries in the changelog, we don't really know if this
poses issues or not.
Also, should we make a more detailed changelog, with the 3 things I
mentioned at the beginning of the message or is it not important?
Cheers,
Vincent
