Okay, I have now [after a busy week] added a watch file and uploaded the
package again. The mentors page now shows that the package is the latest
upstream version.

I can help you writing one, or you can just look at the uscan manpage
(or debian wiki for uscan) and you will find many examples.
you might stop being interested in the debian packaging (or find it
too difficult to maintain), you might become MIA... people might adopt
the package if being orphaned, so having a watch file will guarantee
the continuity of the project (Debian side)
cheers,

Okay, I have added a homepage.
I see there is also a watch file warning.
Do I need to have a watch file?
As I am both the developer and the package maintainer, I suppose I don't
need one?
