Here are some comments:

debian/changelog:
  - remove -2 entry: the changelog is about the change you did from an
upload to Debian archive to the previous, since it's a new package,
there is no previous version, so just stick with -1 entry

debian/control
  - what about enabling those Vcs-* field?
  - you need python at runtime, so the binary pacakge has to define a
Depends on it. I suggest to try adding the ${python:Depends} variable,
and if it not works, add an explicit 'python' Depends
  - also, you need to Depends, or at least Recommends/Suggests
r-base-core (i tried the plugin and got "R --no-save --no-restore
bash: R: command not found")

debian/format
  - remove it

debian/patches/get_data_dir
  - what does this patch do?

debian/README.Debian
  - this information belongs to debian/copyright (the describe how to
obtain the tarball), so merge them there and remove this file

debian/rules
  - you decided to use debhelper 7, so I strongly suggest to use its
tiny rules file (/usr/share/doc/debhelper/examples/rules.tiny) +
override instead of cdbs, that's mainly "black magic"

ReadMe.txt
  - install it as documentation

ehm, not exactly :)

lintian -iIv --pedantic gedit-r-plugin_0.7.0-2_amd64.changes
...
I: gedit-r-plugin source: quilt-patch-missing-description get_data_dir
...
I: gedit-r-plugin source: debian-watch-file-is-missing
...
P: gedit-r-plugin: no-upstream-changelog

for sure, add a debian/watch file

Once done this changes, feel free to resubmit the package and the RFS.
