Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
While trying to tag audio files with data from MusicBrainz.org it asks for its
account authorization code.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I do not have MusicBrainz.org account to generate such code so files tagging
does not work.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
Audio files not tagged.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Import metadata from musicbrainz.org

Picard version 2.8.5-1_amd64 worked as intended without extra step such as
requirement to login to the service and necessity of authorization code.
Downgrading to the older version (build from source) requires python3 (< 3.11).
Both packages are not available in testing and sid repositories any more.

Correction: should be picard version 2.8.4-1_amd64.
