Hi,

I was totally surprised to get this mail already today after 5 days
instead of after 10 days:
https://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lynx/news/20160131T163912Z.html

src:lynx migrated to testing within 5 days, despite:

* Explicit urgency=low. I consider ignoring this setting a quite
  important issues. I really wanted more exposion for this package as
  it contained some changes which might break things.

* New source package name, i.e. it's the first upload to unstable
  since the package went through NEW (two uploads to experimental
  inbetween, though), but it's definitely a source package which
  wasn't in Testing before. (Not sure if I understand the used metrics
  in this case completely.)

See https://packages.qa.debian.org/l/lynx.html for the dates.
