Bug#841294: Overrule maitainer of "global" to package a new upstream version

Or, more likely, just like for #587489, #613011, #182188, #212040,
#218111, #669617, #756367 and #130091 (more than half of the open bugs
for global), you will just ignore the bug report. I have not included
#715980 and #716006 which are automated. I don't understand how you can
try to paint yourself as someone who cares about your users while there
is this public track record of your unwilligness to discuss with
anybody.

And for this particular case, you didn't asked for anything more. You
just said nothing.
