I admit I do not care for both when I'm sponsoring - I just take
the status from Git.

I personally ignore "Pedantic" messages. I think those need to be
solved upstream since upstream needs to sign the download or need to
provide a changelog file and than we can deal with this.
Regarding the keyword entry you should check freedesktop.org for
valid keywords and add it to the desktio file.
How to fix the spelling also sounds obvious.
Also regarding hardening flags you did well to specify hardening in
d/rules. Unfortunately the upstream build system seems to ignore
these settings.
None of the issues prevent me from uploading - even if fixing
those would be a good idea in the long run.
Kind regards
Andreas.
