Indeed... not

Steph did it, and it was more than 2 years ago, so "years ago" is correct.

Do I? I only managed to get many distributions happier and users to
get correct versions and package meta. You managed to waste many
people precious time by pestering about a non issue, only because you
are too lazy to apply simple rules. So please, re consider both the
way you do things like that and your language, which actually annoy
much more contributors than you may actually admit.
