Thanks for reaching out to them.

While at it, I'd also question why Canonical is scraping public repositories and creating user accounts for the scraped addresses.

Yes, I know why they do it, but for me, it is another example of bad collaboration practice, on top of everything else to be said about Ubuntu (or more precisely, its owners).

It's also small things that impose burdens on others, and if they think they need to fork Debian, copy packages from it (to put behind a paywall afterwards), then they certainly could do that without spoofing Debian people and team addresses.

Disclaimer: I am assuming good faith in this specific case, but not in Canonical and Ubuntu in general.
