Dear Debian mentors,I recently filed the ITP and RFS for my package 'scenefx' and uploaded the package to mentors. Another uploader has since submitted a package that references my ITP in the changelog, but it is not a collaborative submission and should not be treated as a straightforward continuation of my work. They are actively refusing to discuss with me about it. I have noted that their salsa repository predates mine, but I don't see that as a reason to why upload on top of my perfectly fine package just to change the maintainer field and introduce more lintian warnings. I am requesting a review of the upload history and clarification on which submission should be considered the active package for review. Sorry if I am bothering you, I appreciate your work for debian.
One of the main purposes of an ITP is to serve as a mutex. Somebody uploading a package without even filing an ITP is the losing side.
That said, if mentors disallowed uploads of the same package name by different accounts it would be a much more clear situation.
