Re-using is fine. ;-)

May be I should (again) advertise routine-update, which works quite good
to take over the routine part (except refreshing patches) to update a
package.
For the sake of completeness I'd recommend the UDD dashboard:
https://udd.debian.org/dmd/?email1=debian-science-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org&email2=tille%40debian.org&email3=r-pkg-team%40alioth-lists.debian.net&packages=&ignpackages=&format=html#todo
(where you probably should add your own ID as email2) to also see issues
with testing migration. Its *not* sufficient to push a package to
unstable to make it migrate to testing automagically. I've observed in
several cases that packages I assumed to migrate nicely hanging in
unstable for ages (due to some issues with dependencies, architectures,
autopkgtests). You can also find uscan errors there which might hide
new upstream versions

Have fun there. Finally I should come to this nice event again ...
Kind regards
Andreas.
