It is not done by a robot.  The OpenAFS team on launchpad
(https://launchpad.net/~openafs) manages it, which has a single member; if
you are logged in to launchpad, https://launchpad.net/~anders-kaseorg will
display a direct email address for Anders.

The Ubuntu packaging is usually derived from the Debian packaging for a
given release, but sometimes when I am slow to update Debian, Anders will
take the update in Ubuntu before it makes it into Debian.  I may have time
to update Debian this weekend, but my schedule is pretty busy at the
moment.
