Could you please share a link to the check results? If it's
<https://win-builder.r-project.org/incoming_pretest/autodb_2.3.0_20250316_203825/>,
it seems to have passed the R CMD check. As Michael says, the NOTE
about the package being a new submission is expected.

I wasn't able to find the message you are being concerned with ("Author
text in original DESCRIPTION" and its substrings) anywhere in the R
source code or in the R-dev-web Subversion repository. Are you sure the
problem is not elsewhere?

On the R mailing lists, it's best to compose messages in plain text.
