First think about whether the release is ready for people who run the
software, since they are the primary audience.
Second think about whether the release is ready for all
redistributors, not just Debian.
Further tips for upstream development:
Debian recommendations for upstreams are here, please also read the
external advice section.
https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide
You can use check-all-the-things to run various static analysis tools
(and other checkers) over the codebase:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/check-all-the-things.git
You can use whohas (I recommend the version in git for now) to find
bugs reported by downstream users, patches created by downstreams,
workarounds for upstream issues in downstream packaging and so on.

I don't have any solution for monitoring mention of the software on
tech sites, forums and social media but maybe you can use web search
engines for this. In the past I have found useful patches in places
like Youtube for example.
