There's one lintian hint left now but that's something you can fix in
another upload later:
I: plotdrop: desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry
usr/share/applications/plotdrop.desktop
Run "lintian -Ii plotdrop_0.5.4-1*.changes" for a more detailed explanation.

No problem, but at least for "gbp pull" on my sid system you need to put
in "debian-branch = debian" instead of "git-debian-branch = debian".

Well, I doubt that your last upstream contribution to plotdrop was in
2009 and for the files in debian/ I know for a fact that you worked on
them recently ;)
So please change "2008,2009" into "2008-2016".
Furthermore d/copyright should collect the information of all files in
the package. When I look into plotdrop.appdata.xml I see "Copyright 2014
Ryan Lerch <rlerch@redhat.com>" and what appears to be a Creative
Commons license.

No, you should completely finalise the package for sponsoring.
If I did any work on the packaging myself I should be added in d/control
and d/copyright.
As sponsor I'll do the following:
- check the package, report if I'm unhappy with something
- build it without any change
- check again, report if I'm unhappy with something
- sign it
- upload it
