That bug indicates that the behavior is inconsistent between README/NEWS/TODO.

Implemented for NEWS, which was your primary concern:

I could not find those checks, but would be happy to add the files.
Unfortunately, I could not figure out from #429510 what the correct
behavior should be. (For example, both README and README.Debian seem
to be in use, but only the latter is shipped.) Please reopen the bug
to add more files.

Thank you for helping to make Lintian better.

Kind regards
