I vaguely remember creating my ~/.dput.cf when I began packaging and using mentors.d.n following some instructions somewhere... Maybe people do it because https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers shows example dput configurations? This suggests that some configuration is needed in order to upload to mentors after installing dput. The phrasing of section "How to upload packages to mentors.debian.net?" could be changed to say that dput's default configuration is enough. Cheers, Etienne
