DevRef §5.8.3.(6) is a “must”, but you’re lucky: it turns out that
this is a recent isolated change, so I can write to the persons in
that commit. (Will do so in a follow-up mail, so they’re not confu‐
sed by Debian specifics.)

The rationale for DevRef §5.8.3.(6) is that I, as user, would not
know whom to contact on the upstream side: especially with the
Linux kernel, there’s tons of maintainers, subsystems, mailing
lists, etc. and I’d not have an idea where to contact. (Luckily,
I *was* able to isolate it… this time. But I expect you to do at
least the talking, generally.)
