Re: mentors.d.n thinks someone else uploaded my package?

Hello Chris.

Of course you are not hijacking a previous work mine. I guess this messages are because I’ve submitted an ITA package updating the version of keychain.

I received a feedback of one Debian Mentor to do some changes in the package I submitted and re-submit again, but I faced some personal problems and have not be able to re-pack and re-submit the package with the changes.

If you are still interested in maintain this package, fell free to adopt it and continuous with your submission. If you need something from me, just ping me and I’ll do.

Thanks and best regards,

I'm trying to understand what this page is telling me:

I'm trying to adopt keychain which was orphaned, I've ITA'd the ticket:
https://bugs.debian.org/867749

The mentors.d.n page, however, shows that Paulo Vital <pvital@gmail.com>
is the "Uploader", and has marked the package as not needing a sponsor?
Additionally, the lintian warnings listed against my upload (made today,
of 2.8.4-1) are not from my upload; I intentionally updated the
standards version, and think that has succeeded.

The lintian messages there state "Maintainer email is the same as
uploader, and links to the dsc, which shows me as the Maintainer, not
Paulo, who the page thinks is the uploader.
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/keychain/keychain_2.8.4-1.dsc

Have I collided with a previous upload with the same version number? The
other version of a similar upload, "2.8.4+dfsg-1" wasn't done by me, and
was done recently.

Sorry if I'm hijacking work in progress from Paulo (CC'd). If you're
still trying to adopt this package, please claim the bug.

Otherwise, what needs to be done to get the mentors.d.n page to show me,
and the details for my actual upload?

Cheers,
Chris.
