version in VCS is newer than in repository, is it time to upload? normal

vcswatch reports that this package seems to have a new changelog entry (version 4.4-2, distribution UNRELEASED) and new commits in its VCS. You should consider whether it's time to make an upload.

Here are the relevant commit messages:

commit 3950bf179ae822b183e296ac97b911c37da08899
Author: jcfp <jcfp@debian.org>
Date:   Thu Feb 5 10:05:08 2026 +0100

    Clean: include some files under bootstrap/src/parse to fix building the source package after a successful build of the binary package. (Closes: #1047901, again)
