Package: mariadb-client
Version: 1:11.8.2-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/mytop

Dear Maintainer,

Don't think it should default to user root. 
Also note I didn't get "Connection error: port cannot be specified when host is localhost or embedded" though I think the empty string is equivalent to connecting via socket.

olaf$ ./mytop -h ""

* username you specified "root" (default is "root")

...

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost'

Olaf
