    Incoming: minor update regarding who uploads there

commit c09bf0cf904149925c0dc99688dfcacd2e30a1ce
Author: Holger Levsen <holger@layer-acht.org>
Date:   Tue Feb 10 14:48:41 2026 +0100

    Revert "Uploading: Document using 'git debpush'"
    
    This reverts commit b0cbca8f6f0eb3608db4686767eb5672ef38b183.

commit b0cbca8f6f0eb3608db4686767eb5672ef38b183
Author: Sean Whitton <spwhitton@spwhitton.name>
Date:   Tue Feb 10 13:36:13 2026 +0000

    Uploading: Document using 'git debpush'
    
    This is the new way to upload for the majority of people's work.
    
    Distinguish the need to upload source+binary at the same time for NEW from
    uploading maintainer-built binaries for bootstrapping or contrib/non-free
    reasons -- these can happen subsequent to using 'git debpush' in the usual
    way, and that's preferable.

commit fd0635b57bca42684f250f4b4bd5a62af3c360d6
Author: Sean Whitton <spwhitton@spwhitton.name>
Date:   Tue Feb 10 13:33:53 2026 +0000

    Uploading: Delete obsolete paragraph about migration
    
    Binary packages are now thrown away so this is obsolete.

commit 06c3439721d11ce420788608d5f1e97be2a369ec
