Hi Bastien,
one powerful aspect of Lintian is that once a tag is out, a lot of pakcages get
corrected spontaneously by their maintainers at their next upload. In that
sense, maybe it will be more time-effective if you do the mass bug filing
later, as a finishing phase.

There is also the donation field in the debian/upstream file
(https://wiki.debian.org/debian/upstream), which is quite un-leveraged for the
moment but could be an efficient way to lead our users to the Upstream donation
pages.
Have a nice day,
