"Have been" added, and I think it works better as
As in every release new packages have been added in the fields of medicine
and life sciences.

The new package <systemitem role="package">shiny-server</systemitem>
might be worth a particular mention,
(Or "might be particularly worth mentioning", among other options.)

(Is it worth reorganising that into something like "since it makes it
simpler for scientific web applications to use R" or am I only
noticing it because I'm reading in pedant mode?)

It's not clear whether this means that you maintained the effort and
as a result got CI support or whether CI support is something you
already had that you kept going. Maybe:
We also kept up the
effort to provide Continuous Integration support for the packages maintained
by the Debian Med team.

This needs at least one extra comma; maybe even:
The Debian Med team is always interested in feedback from users,
especially in the form of requests for packaging of not-yet-packaged
free software, or for backports from new packages or higher versions
in unstable.
(Are you *allowed* to put things in stable-backports if there's no
version in stable?)

This all looks good; I suppose med-* gets a
<replaceable>*</replaceable> but no <systemitem role="package"> tags.
