This is due the https://bugzilla.suse.com/attachment.cgi?bugid=1160446&action=enterfact that a mr is created if the target project does not accept submit requests. This is called instead: create_maintenance_request(apiurl, src_project, [src_package], tproject, dst_project, src_update, message) No rev is given to the function. But the action type for a maintenance incident can handle the src_rev: maintenance_incident': ('src_project', 'src_package', 'src_rev', 'tgt_project', 'tgt_package', 'tgt_releaseproject', 'person_name', 'opt_sourceupdate', opt_makeoriginolder', 'acceptinfo_rev', 'acceptinfo_srcmd5', 'acceptinfo_xsrcmd5', 'acceptinfo_osrcmd5', acceptinfo_oxsrcmd5') I created a PR to include the rev. PR as patch attached
