It was not previously clear to me that this was the case.

… from the Lintian maintainers' point of view I am absolutely
confident that this is not the case. If you believe there is such a
campaign, I gently request that you continue this sub-conversation
outside of this Lintian bug.
If it helps, IIRC the version parsing was refactored by Felix in
recent past to fix or otherwise better support some other version
parsing issues and I highly suspect this got flipped in the process.
But even if this is not strictly the case, there is no specific
vendetta against this workflow despite personally not recommending
it to others.

I would very much encourage you to not read too much into this, if
anything. See #935706 for my wider thoughts on the social problems
that appear to stem from our "certainty" field, and I suspect similar
can be said between the often-inprecise relationship between errors/
warnings and Debian bug severities.
