Indeed we don't know about communication attempts on upload the package.
I do hope that this escalation learns us to file bugs like
Subject: re-enter testing
Package: gjots2
Version: 2.4.1-2

Previous upload of gjots2 was done 4 years ago.
And removed from testing 5 months ago.
This bugreport is to announce (and document)
my intention doing an upload.
