[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#837322: autobuild for non-free package source:colorfultabs

[Ximin Luo]

Control: severity -1 normal
Control: retitle -1 allow auto-build of this package when doing a source-only upload

Hi Andreas, I've just done a binary-only upload of this package so it should appear in unstable soon. The auto-build did not fail, it was just not run in the first place because of [1] below as you noted months ago.

Hi non-free release team, any update on the below request?
