Err... its not that I "like" seeing the package release manager that
way. It seems merely a statement of fact.

The maintainer cant say "yes I agree, the package will be changed",
and the package magically fixes itself. The maintainer has to do
something additional to make it happen.
"more work" is required, to update the package.
