That's not what you mean if the subject is accurate. But see below.

That's the checklist for an unblock request, i.e. for migrating a
package from unstable to testing, not an update to stable, which is a
p-u bug. Which are you actually requesting? The metadata is for one
sort of request while the content is for another.

If you're actually asking about an update to stable then the checklist
is:

[ Checklist ]
  [ ] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [ ] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [ ] attach debdiff against the package in stable
  [ ] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable

This clearly isn't a changelog entry for a stable update:

+kodi (2:19.2+dfsg1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * New upstream version 19.2+dfsg1
+  * Restrict watchfile to current Debian stable codename
+  * Bump standard version
+  * Refresh patches
+  * Install package metainfo

2:19.2 also isn't even in unstable yet, which adds to my confusion.

Unblock hints (and indeed, hints in general) are for testing. They have
nothing to do with updates to (old)stable.

If you're actually talking about an upload to unstable, then as we're
outside of freeze and this upload wouldn't cause a transition so far as
I can see, then you don't need to request the Release Team's permission
to upload.
