While this sounds like a sensible extension I do not run into this error.

Could you please check the files in

   /srv/udd.debian.org/mirrors/machine-readable

It smells as if something would be broken there.  I do not run into this
error.

No.  It runs fine for me with the current status of Git.

This are the debian/{copyright,control,changelog} files as if you
checkout the source via

   apt-get source <source>

The *.vcs file is generated by the machine-readable gatherer and simply
stores where the packaging really was found (in contrast to what the Vcs
fields might say).

Since you confirmed that you have no idea about packaging you should
probably get a bit familiar with these files (except *.vcs which is
"home-invented").

Hope this helps
