In the Subject field you say “(first release after Chris Taylor
recommendation)”, implying you also made at least one release
*before* that recommendation.

Yet here, you are making the *first* release of upstream version
“1.2.2”.

And here again, you are pointing us to the first release of a
*different* upstream version, “1.2.2a”.
What is the upstream version? Has it changed through all this?
If this is the second (or subsequent) release of a particular upstream
version, why is the release number still “1”?
You should increment the release number (by starting a new release
section in the changelog) each time you begin work on a new release
subsequent to one you've already uploaded, to allow different releases
to be easily distinguished.
