The part of my email you quoted was only meant to explain my motivation,
not to justify the action. I understand your point, and no pressure was
intended—nor was I trying to reorganize your desk.

Added myself as Uploader.

I'm afraid only the person who pushes to Salsa get messages from Salsa
CI. Feel free to bounce these to me.

I'll consider this once I have any reason to change anything to this
package.

I'm not sure whether this bug report is the right place to discuss this,
but I have an idea for another approach to resolve the issue. We could
reach out to the Lintian maintainers to exclude these files from
triggering this error. While this would take time—requiring a new
Lintian release and waiting for it to be deployed on the server which
receives new packages-it might be a viable alternative given that the
issue has remained unresolved for more than two years. This could be a
path forward in case direct coordination with ftpmaster proves
difficult.
Kind regards
Andreas.
