Hi Gert, I admit that currently new processing is more or less stalled and I guess that ftpmaster is doing this on purpose to fully concentrate on the next release. Because it is your first package and you are lacking some experience: This is *not* normal and usually the time for new packages until processing is below one week.

To be sure I created the tag debian/2.0.7-1 (please git pull). In the unprobable case that we need to reupload we can revert to this tag. > or > should I redo the package from scratch?

Just create a new changelog entry pretending you would create a new package version and as per policy use UNRELEASED (instead of unstable) as target distribution. Once the package will be processed we can quickly upload the new version. > Apart from that, is there any way to find out why the package is still > in the NEW pipeline?

Anybody here on this list is free to close open RC bugs[1] to speed up the release and went back to normal development cycle operation. > And of course, is there anything I can do to resolve issues that may > exists?

On the contrary - checking portability is always a good thing to do. Kind regards Andreas.
