[Pkg-security-team] Sponsor for new t50 release

[Samuel Henrique]

Hi all,

I've just updated the patch description, i sent it upstream, let's see if
he agrees.

I'm currently waiting to get an advocacy for DM, when i got one i believe
it'll be easier to work with t50 because i will be allowed to sign your
changes, Marco.

By the way, Marco, is there a problem if i make some changes on the
changelog entry?
We have now:

"* Patch to avoid various FTBS. Thanks to Gianfranco Costamagna"

I would like to cite the patch name, like:

"* debian/patches/disable-linux-test.patch: Create patch to avoid FTBS on
    systems where host_os != linux-gnu. Thanks to Gianfranco Costamagna."

It's a good practice to cite which files were created/removed/changed on
the changelog, in order to make it easier to track changes. You can suggest
an alternative if you don't like the example above.

There's also a little problem with the entry from 5.6.7-1, something went
wrong when you formatted the entry, there's two unneeded  "[ Marcos Fouces
]" entries, i'm fixing this one right now, so i just need confirmation from
the above.

Currently we need someone to sign and send 5.6.7-2.
