If I interpret correctly the text on that URL, rejection will only happen for 
those tags listed in https://ftp-master.debian.org/static/lintian.tags. Hence 
all lintian warning & errors don't necessarily lead to rejection.

Lintian warnings/errors also mentioned there: 
https://ftp-master.debian.org/REJECT-FAQ.html

This will lead to another question: kalkun has these lintian errors:

E: kalkun source: source-is-missing [media/js/Chart.bundle.min.js]
E: kalkun source: source-is-missing [media/js/autosize-5.0.1.min.js]
E: kalkun source: source-is-missing [media/js/jquery-3.6.1.min.js]
E: kalkun source: source-is-missing [media/js/jquery-plugin/
jquery.emoticons.min.js]
E: kalkun source: source-is-missing [media/js/jquery-plugin/
jquery.field.min.js]
E: kalkun source: source-is-missing [media/js/jquery-plugin/
jquery.form.min.js]
E: kalkun source: source-is-missing [media/js/jquery-plugin/jquery.tagsinput-
revisited.min.js]
E: kalkun source: source-is-missing [media/js/jquery-plugin/
jquery.validate.min.js]
E: kalkun source: source-is-missing [media/js/jquery-ui/jquery-ui.min.js]
E: kalkun source: source-is-missing [media/js/modernizr.min.js]

While these files are part of the source and are required, some common 
javascript libraries are already packaged in Debian, so during install I link 
to these packages (jquery, jquery-ui, modernizr, chartjs). But this doesn't 
make them removable from the source.

However for some of them there is no debian package (the files in jquery-
plugin, and autosize). Could this still pass? Other packages are also in that 
case given the large amount of packages in the archive with source-is-missing
https://lintian.debian.org/tags/source-is-missing
On that page, some also use lintian-overrides (freetype, mediawiki, wordpress 
for instance).

It makes sense.
