Per the following email (sent to feedback@lp), our code import servers have DoS-ed third party services.

Subject: Canonical Launchpad code import servers blocked due to abuse

The launchpad code import servers have been blocked from accessing
svn.apache.org for abuse. There were in excess of 1,000,000 requests
made to svn.apache.org in the previous 24 hours and a couple of
instances in the previous few days of ~500,000 requests.

ASF policy permits no more than one update per hour from automated clients.

To request removal of the block (you'll need to explain what you have
done to ensure the abuse is not repeated) contact
<email address hidden> or find the ASF infrastructure team on
#asfinfra at freenode.
