Dear Russ and everybody, I had a very brief look at the DD-list for the packages with unacceptable Lintian tags, and my gut feeling is that it contains a lot of unmaintained packages (maybe an UDD expert can confirm). Therefore, rejecting uploads is no incentive for them to be fixed. With this in mind, I think that Stefano's proposition to implicate the QA team in the management of which tag gets in the blacklist makes a lot of sense, as it will help the people who will do the hard work of orphaning, MIA checking, and bug fixing to prioritise and orgainse their efforts.
