Probably a good start indeed.

There hasn't been any messages to the transition bug since before the
wheezy release, I'm wondering if it will still happen and what the
status is. I think the opinion of the release team would be more
useful here than that of the maintainer.

Tags should be added by people uploading to the archive, after the
package has been uploaded (or accepted).

These are basically the same step. You'll need to register an account first.

Keysigning can only happen in person, so you will likely need to
travel to the closest Debian member or to the annual Debian
conference.

Please see debian-policy for definitions of Uploaders and Maintainer:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-maintainer
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Maintainer
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Uploaders
If you don't intend to maintain the packages in the future, but just
do one upload then don't add yourself but use `dch --team`, which will
add 'Team upload' to debian/changelog.
