Because I'm not the one setting these git repos up and trying to figure out
what someone else set up and then arguing with them about fixing it doesn't
seem to me like a profitable use of the limited time I have for Debian. I'd
prefer whoever is doing the work, just do it right.
Changing the number of commits is solving the wrong problem. The problem that
needs to be solved is including upstream commits. That's thoroughly
uninteresting for a packaging team. Also, it's not just the mails, it's the
IRC bot too (I believe the IRC bot acts off the repository, not mails).
