Quite right.  I assumed you were uploader on all the team packages, but
it looks like the commentaries have not been updated for a few years.

Very true.

Another possibility occurred to me.  Would you be comfortable lowering
the serverity to 'normal' until after the release, then raising the
severity again?  I believe that we have that latitude within the team
and it would not require involving the release team (who are quite busy
with a buster point release in the coming week plus the preparations for
the next stable release).

Regards,
