Bottom line: we wanted to include stable bugfixes.
Given that we:
- were given a RTFM (which says "no bugfix"),
- had to wait 2 months and a half to get another follow-up,
we had to not include the bugfixes, but a special Debian branch that
only fixes a couple "serious" nitpicks from piuparts.
Additionally, in the case of submitting e.g. 5.3.3 and getting the
transition to freeze rejected, it would be quite a hassle to revert to
5.3.2 or switch to proposed-updates, hence why we asked here
beforehand.
So saying:

is a bit easy, I believe we made the effort to contact you as
mentioned in your FAQ. Don't blame us :/
