Recently I noticed a package enter Debian with a changelog that was
both a QA upload and introducing a new maintainer. This doesn't really
make sense because a QA upload means it is still orphaned but a new
maintainer means it has been adopted. Perhaps the person who did the
upload didn't understand what QA uploads are for. Please check for QA
uploads that change the maintainer and emit a warning for them.
