Yes, please leave UNRELEASED. It is fine if the sponsor who uploads

I admit that I have no idea if this is an issue since I follow the same

If you set the Debian Science team as maintainer and since we agreed
that it fits from the content it is perfectly fine to move it. Just
apply for team membership and you get permission to do this.
Hope this helps
