It's somewhat related because in both bugs, the wording used by the
tracker is the problem. In #910987, the information is technically
correct, but the wording is a little bit too aggressive in suggesting
that A Upload Is Needed Now.

The problem here is that the tracker is interpreting the information
from vcswatch wrongly. The "commits since last tag" information should
only be used when the status is "COMMITS". And even when done
correctly, it should rather be saying "eventually this package should
be uploaded", and not "time to upload?" which seems to suggest that
this should happen "now".
