The centre conjecture for Mackey functors of a lextensive finite coproduct completion

Let C\mathcal{C} be a small category such that its finite coproduct completion famC\operatorname{fam}\mathcal{C} is lextensive. Let AutC\operatorname{Aut}\mathcal{C} be the category of automorphisms in C\mathcal{C}, whose objects are pairs (X,u)(X,u) with u:XXu:X\to X invertible in C\mathcal{C}. Write Mkyk\operatorname{Mky}_k for the category of kk-linear Mackey functors and Z\mathcal{Z} for the centre of a category. The centre conjecture. There is an equivalence

ZMkyk(famC)Mkyk(famAutC).\mathcal{Z}\operatorname{Mky}_k(\operatorname{fam}\mathcal{C})\simeq\operatorname{Mky}_k(\operatorname{fam}\operatorname{Aut}\mathcal{C}).

This conjecture generalizes Tambara's result for the category of finite GG-sets, where the centre of the category of kk-linear Mackey functors is again a category of Mackey functors associated with a suitable category. The source provides no resolution of the conjecture.
