Hello, Note: not maintaining lintian's website, but I'm the admin having removed the dns entry and shut the web server down.

TL;DR, Felix Lechner was maintaining lintian and its website, in particular a new interface for which he was asking DSA to do a lot of work with little to no visibility the maintainability of his proposed work on the long run. After his DPL campaign in 2022, he decided to drop most of his Debian activities, and Lucas took over regarding a web presentation of lintian issues/tags a package has and decided to do it through UDD. You can find some intel here[0] and there[1] about Lucas' motivations to close lintian.d.o. > The site > https://udd.debian.org/lintian-tag.cgi?tag=wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog > only lists packages with the issue, while the old site had full > explanations of the issue and felt quite friendly and easy to consume > (non-CSS styled version still visible in Google cache, eg. > https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:AKmDGNJEIaAJ:https://lintian.debian.org/tags/wrong-name-for-upstream-changelog). While I admit that I was not aware that the description of the tags has not been ported, and would probably have suggested to Lucas that such portage should be done before dropping the old site, now that it's done, we won't rollback. Regarding the 301 redirection I'll see with the interested parties (DSA and Lintian maintainers) if this option is fine with everyone. -- PEB [0] https://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2022/12/msg00038.html [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2023/04/msg00000.html
