Great.

Yes, you are allowed to act on them. I don't think there is a need to
set any tags right now. I did the unmerge I mentioned so the two bugs
can now be closed or left open independent of each other.
In the changelog you'll need to remove "Closes: #936593" as in fact
this upload does not drop python2 depends, while you should add a
line explaining that unversioned python dependency has been converted
to python2, and Closes: #966736.
Another thing. There is a removal of fam in progress.[1] Please edit
Build-Depends so that you don't introduce a dependency on libfam-dev.
The xorn executable is not too well suited to be in libgeda47 because
its name does not change with SONAME which would make library
transitions difficult.[2] So perhaps put xorn live in geda-utils then?
