Thanks a lot for stepping in and daring to do a Lintian release!

Unfortunately a few things went rather bad and I wanted to fix
this up quickly:

* No tag change summary (private/generate-tag-summary not run)

* Most changelog entries and closed bug numbers missing. (gbp dch not
  run or went weirdly bad?) IMHO this makes this version of Lintian
  unfit for release, hence the RC severity. Also to avoid that this
  version to migrates to testing.
  
* Wrong version number. There are quite some new tags in this release,
  hence a feature additions, which requires the minor version to be
  bumped (i.e. to 2.118.0) according to Semantic Versioning (which
  Lintian tries to follow for a while now): https://semver.org/

* The last git commits included in the upload are not pushed to the
  git repository on Salsa.

Especially because of the last issue, currently nobody can continue
working on Lintian and fix the other things mentioned. So please push
your work as soon as possible, so that we can fix the remaining issues
with the 2.117.1.

This is what I would retroactively add to the 2.117.1 changelog entry
(based on current git with the current changelog entries from the
upload manually fiddled in) and then just tagging an 2.118.0 release
to get things back on track:
