This seems a bit ouf of scope for an NMU (new upstream releases are
NMUed only in exceptional cases) and #998105 is severity normal and
#973760 is severity minor. (Please see the developers reference about
NMUs.
Do you have additional information why this should be an NMU?
I'm seeing you are member of the repo, should your name be added as
Uploaders and this be a regular upload?
Did you reach out to the maintainers and get an ACK from them?
Cheers,
