Hi Mattia,

This was moved to the list, since your comment did not relate to #960154.

Please have a look at the README on lindsay.d.o:

> The cronjob is stored in /srv/lintian.debian.org/config/cron. Changes
> should be made in that file. The changed file can then be installed
> with:
>
>     sudo -u lintian crontab /srv/lintian.debian.org/config/crontab
>
> Only this installation of the cron tab should be done as the role user
> lintian. You can use 'sudo -u lintian -s' to get a shell for the user,
> but use it with discretion.
>
> Most changes should be made as your regular Debian user. The directory
> has the sticky bit set. PLEASE SET YOUR UMASK TO 002. Otherwise, your
> fellow developers will run into permission problems.

Kind regards
