No, it wouldn't be. The package is already in stable so there's no
reason for it to be in the NEW queue.
It is, however, in proposed-updates-NEW, as per

However, Andreas seems to have fixed up the bug state and reviewing the
log the patch seems sane so I've flagged the package for acceptance.
Please follow the documented procedures for any future stable uploads.
