Control: severity -1 wishlist

Hello Guillem Jover.

Thanks for your input on this bug report... Unfortunately I missed it
tough, not sure why it didn't reach me as you seem to have included
me in the recipients.

I also just read your reasoning in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/11/msg00538.html
that if you don't intend to work on something (which if I understood
your mail correctly you don't intend here), or maybe your point was
that the maintainer doesn't intend to work on it (and I don't,
but I'm just an uploader OTOH the Debian GNOME team mostly relies
on me taking care of rygel) then the correct severity is wishlist.
I'm thus setting that severity on this bug report despite not ever
having seen something in policy to support your reasoning, but I
trust you....

Me neither.... but I still have to fix it or what's your point?

If QA in Debian is defined as "pointing out stuff noone cares about
and making a fuzz about it" then I think we should simply stop
doing QA and instead focus on real bugs and to limit the scope even
more focus on things that actually affects real users.

Patches still welcome for this issue though!
