Mario, of course, this discussion is not new to either of us. You are as free as anyone to "go with the flow", if I may call it like that. However, I consider myself equally free to keep annoying you and regretting that a reputed database (which is what you are aiming for) propagates flawed views, so I repeat that elevating mtDNA clades to species rank without additional data is poor science. Mitochondrial DNA is only inherited along the maternal line, lacks recombination, can show huge introgression (even between species), ...

We've been here before e.g. when discussing ammodytes clades (including a nicely phrased reasoning by Wolfgang Wüster). Maybe you also went with the flow on the latter case, but it would seem that the result is that you are basically contradicting yourself if you add up these two cases.
But maybe we can re-address this in Vienna next month
