Easyeffects v7.0.1 is v7.0.0 plus 339 commits, and it looks like these
are mostly translation-related, plus a mix of feature, refactoring, and
bug fix commits.  The translations and bug fixes are ok, but at this
stage of the upcoming bookworm (Debian 12) release, v7.0.1 cannot be
imported in its entirety:
https://release.debian.org/testing/freeze_policy.html

It was arguably too late at the beginning of the soft freeze
(2023-02-12).  That said, "Only small, targeted fixes" is up to
maintainer discretion, so it may have been possible before 2023-03-12.
Now that we're in the "hard freeze", and because easyeffects doesn't
have autpkgtests, someone on the Release Team would need to unblock an
upload of v7.0.1; The Release Team is almost certainly not going to sign
off on such a large delta, so the best case scenario appears to be to
request a bookworm-backport of easyeffects after the bookworm release.
That will become possible about a week after this bug is closed (were I
to guess, probably July or August).

Boyuan Yang: Would you please acknowledge if this package belongs to the
Multimedia Team?  It's still in Debian/collab-maint namespace, and if
it's team-maintained then it should be moved here:

  https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team

Thanks,
Nicholas
