 Often enough people just add themself to the Uploaders field in
debian/control so that the package also appears on their DDPO page on
https://qa.debian.org/developer.php - and with that those warnings won't
appear anymore.  If you don't see a need for that you can ignore those
warnings.

 Erm, no, please do not suggest to use some NMU versioning with 0.1 for
backports because of that warning.  That's not a useful approach and not
needed.

 So long,
