I can not parse this? The UDD gatherer is not using
upstream-metadata.debian.net. It is rather reading Git repositories of
selected Blends teams (formerly on Alioth now rewritten for Salsa[1]).
The UDD gatherer consumes more data than only debian/upstream/metadata
but also about prospective packages. It does not depend from
umegaya nor upstream-metadata.debian.net.

May be vcswatch and fetch-machine-readable_salsa[1] should be merged.
I'm pretty sure that there is a lot room for enhancement at least for
the latter.

For the Blends purpose Contents-source files are not sufficient since
also Vcs of non-released packages is read and we consume always latest
changes from Git and not from possibly way outdated uploaded packages.
Kind regards
Andreas.
