I think how transitions are done is not even documented in the dev-ref right
now, no?
Last time I was uploading a package for a transition I followed
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ReleaseTeam/Transitions
which was very helpful but it would've been nice to find this in Debian policy
and/or the developer reference manual.
