Do not make the mistake of considering everyone in Debian as being
the same. You've obviously had some bad experiences with some
people in the past, regarding your tale of using various git
repositories. I'm sorry for that, but whoever they were, I am not
one of those people.
If you average your bad experiences across the whole community, you
will just bring the negativity with you to future interactions.

Public package repositories and VCS-* headers are a service that
maintainers can offer to their users which is greatly appreciated by
some (including me). When I read you'd committed the patch, I
attempted to clone and build vsftpd, which would have been (a bit)
quicker for me than applying Ben's patch to the current package
version. It would also mean that any patch fudging necessary was
already done.
You used to offer the service and now you have withdrawn it. This
seemed to be in response to me pointing out that you hadn't pushed
the commit: I realise now that this was coincidence, but the
impression it gave was of "throwing your toys out of the pram".
Thanks for clarifying.

I don't recall telling a joke.
