Hi Bastien,

Yay, thanks! Much appreciated.

You're still in the "lintian" group of Salsa, so you should be still
able to commit to the repo.

Usually, if I consider a lintian bug to be urgent-ish, I bumped its
severity to important. (And you bumped one to serious already, too.
:-) So anything RC or "important" on
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=lintian;dist=unstable
is what we should focus on first, if possible. Those marked confirmed
are those I already looked at closer:

* #993613
* #1014083
* #1014162

Then there are two other topics I have a focus on, because I think,
they're important for all of us, because they're annoying:

* False Positives:
  
https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/bts-usertags.cgi?user=lintian-maint%40debian.org&tag=false-positive

* Automatically migrating non-bracketed lintian overrides to bracketed
  ones. I started here, but it's mostly lacking migration regexp
  mappings for the hundreds of tags being affected:
  
https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/blob/migrate-overrides/bin/lintian-migrate-overrides-to-pointed-hints

  Note that this is currently only inside a feature branch which is
  not yet merged as it is far from helpful yet.

  This is actually my fix for https://bugs.debian.org/1007002

Oh, and one more thing: I want to adhere to Semantic Versioning — the
real one (https://semver.org/), not the one which Felix called
"Semantic Versioning" despite it wasn't Semantic Versioning.

So the versioning from now on will be BREAK.FEATURE.BUGFIX:

* Changing configuration semantic or syntax or exit codes will be a BREAK. 
* Adding new tags will be a FEATURE.
* No functional changes except bug fixes will be a BUGFIX.
* Pure documentation or build-system changes will be a BUGFIX, too.

And probably also:

* Renaming tags will be a BREAK. (Feel free to discuss if you
  disagree. :-))

Not yet sure about:

* Will be removing a tag a BREAK, too?

P.S.: Yeah, there was a bit of silence (despite not complete silence)
from me on lintian, but that was mostly due to holidays (in which was
way less online that I expected), some pre-holiday and some
post-holidays stress. And also because of RC bugs in some of my other
similarily important packages. Expect some more activity on Lintian
towards to next weekend. :-)

                Regards, Axel
