This is great, however there was no communication about this *at all*.
Also, this is not the first time I see this situation, i.e.:
- a repository created with no history, just "import current packaging"
  (and once the "current packaging" was the Ubuntu one, different from
  the Debian one at that time)
- under the qt-kde umbrella of a package not under the team maintenance
- no communication about maintenance switch

For example, I saw this happening twice for kdenlive a couple of years
ago (and they were not the only examples).

I wrote your name above because it was the author of the 4 commits in
that repository, no more and no less than that. It was *not* meant
as personal attack or anything like that.

Can you please explain exactly in which ways you are "clearly not
wanted around here"? Because now I'm starting to worry that whatever
action me (or anyone else) will do on anything that you touched there
will be such as snarky/demotivated answer like this.
