IMHO, probably best would be to put it on mentors (as a bonus mentors does already a few checks which are useful for the reviewer) and open up an RFS bug for better visibility. (e.g it's my policy only to sponsor from there, as I believe other people will also learn/benefit from the process) > https://www.dsscaw.com/repos/apt/debian/pool/main/n/notcurses/notcurses_2.0.2+dfsg.1-1.dsc I did a short look at your package, so this is not a complete review: I notices those two problems by diffing with what is in the archives - It seems you did not include the changelog for (1.7.6+dfsg.1-2) - For A library transition upload you must target experimental in the first upload. Please read this link carefully for the procedure: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions -- Cheers, tobi
