IMHO, probably best would be to put it on mentors (as a bonus mentors
does already a few checks which are useful for the reviewer)
and open up an RFS bug for better visibility.
(e.g it's my policy only to sponsor from there, as I believe other people
will also learn/benefit from the process)

I did a short look at your package, so this is not a complete review:
I notices those two problems by diffing with what is in the archives
- It seems you did not include the changelog for (1.7.6+dfsg.1-2)
- For A library transition upload you must target experimental in the
first upload. Please read this link carefully for the procedure:
