Package: how-can-i-help
Version: 20
Severity: normal

I run testing and use how-can-i-help. Often, I'm informed about
packages which are supposed to be removed from testing and the
maintainer might need help. But when I actually look at the referenced
but, it is already closed (i.e. false alarm).

It would be great if only issues are reported, where actually help is
needed.

Today the following is displayed:

New packages going to be removed from Debian 'testing' (the maintainer might need help):
- debmake - https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/debmake - removal on 2025-04-25 (bug: #1100208)

Now, when I look at #1100208:
Package: src:debmake; Maintainer for src:debmake is Osamu Aoki <osamu@debian.org>;
