Preconditions: minetest is maintained by the Games Team; I am a member
of the Games Team; I am not an Uploader for minetest. Suppose I want to
fix a bug in minetest, without taking future responsibility for the
package in general.

Good:

minetest (0.23-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Team upload.
  * Fix crash when badgers consume mushrooms (Closes: #424242)

Bad:

minetest (0.23-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix crash when badgers consume mushrooms (Closes: #424242)

I think this is the thing under discussion.
