Hi there, most of you know that janitor/jenkins is committing to our repositories directly. However, I recently saw that it starts to commit changes targetted at buid-dependencies purely based on the fact that lintian might complain, and it also raises the standards version. IMHO these are tasks that only the maintainer should do. I have serious doubts about raising the debhelper version automatically because it changes debhelper's behavior (and can change package contents or maintainer script behavior) and it also raises the requirements which are then no longer been fulfilled by oldstable (has debhelper 12). I don't want the debhelper level to be raised automatically because I'm still trying to support buster-backports and I like having to do as few changes as possible to prepare backports. So it is a conscious decision to stay with debhelper 12 in some of my packages at the moment. I suggest to remove the commit access for janitor. According to #debian-qa the tool should then create merge requests instead of committing changes directly. I took the liberty to downgrade the bot's role to "reporter" for the moment. Please add your opinion.
