Still do not understand. You either updated Maintainer field, in which
case you should write something like "Set myself as maintainer", maybe
with "(Closes: #O-Bug-Number)", or you did not. It is changelog.
you will see that I set myself as maintainer. The Version of note on salsa was: 1.3.22
But on unstable was 1.3.26
For this reason, I download the files from package.debian
I forgot set myself as maintainer. Was my foul.
For this reason In this new package version 1.3.26-3 I add me
on Maintainer field.
Added tag +help. Fellow developers, I need help reviewing this entry.

In this case I understand "what" is done, but still do not understand
"why". You package some specific release. What is the purpose of
backporting changes from upstream HEAD?

In general, we at Debian package releases, we do not follow upstream
development commit-after-commit. Usually, we backport patches only to
fix some bug.
Ok I will delete that patch.
Thanks for the review.
