DFSG §5 concerns the *license* of the program. "No Discrimination"
here means that the license must not restrict any person or group from
using, modifying and redistributing the program. It doesn't concern
discriminatory views held by the *authors* of the program.

About "mandating actions for packages", I understand that DFSG
violation bugs are RC. You aren't "forced" to do anything (see also
Constitution 2.1.1) but if you don't, your package won't be part of a
Debian stable release.
But this is not a case of DFSG violation.
