Uploading to experimental doesn't bypass the NEW queue.
I actually wasn't aware of this rule, but I guess it makes sense, as 
it's harder to build packages if dependencies are still in the NEW 
queue, and you'd have to review multiple packages at once. If there are 
multiple dependencies it makes it even harder, and you have to draw the 
line somewhere.
