Who publishes this

Something concrete is wrong: the id claims a namespace this repository does not own, or the build does things a build should not. Flatsonar warns twice.

  • org.mozilla.firefoxpatch claims the org.mozilla namespace but is hosted by github.com/ashlynorsomethin and does not build the owner's code
    publisher:namespace
