Neither of those teams are responsible for testing migration. As the
domain of the URL you quoted indicates, the release team are. I'm
copying debian-release on this reply; please direct further responses
there.

The problem isn't only on i386. As an optimisation, britney stops
checking at the first architecture where an installability problem
occurs; for various reasons, i386 is checked first.
Looking through the britney log, there's currently an automatic hint
being tried which attempts to migrate coin3 and pivy together. This
results in:
* i386: libsoqt4-dev, libvisp-dev
* amd64: libsoqt4-dev, libvisp-dev
* armel: libsoqt4-dev
* armhf: libsoqt4-dev, libvisp-dev
* ia64: libsoqt4-dev, libvisp-dev
* kfreebsd-amd64: libsoqt4-dev
* kfreebsd-i386: libsoqt4-dev
* mips: libsoqt4-dev, libvisp-dev
* mipsel: libsoqt4-dev, libvisp-dev
* powerpc: libsoqt4-dev, libvisp-dev
* s390: libsoqt4-dev, libvisp-dev
* s390x: libsoqt4-dev
* sparc: libsoqt4-dev
which matches the output you quoted above.
If one checks the excuses for each of the affected source packages (via
the PTS, or running grep-excuses, or ...) we find that:
soqt (1.5.0-2 to 1.6.0~e8310f-1)
Maintainer: Debian Science Maintainers
Too young, only 7 of 10 days old
Not considered
Depends: soqt coin3
That's not so much of an issue, as it just means you need to be a little
more patient. More of a problem, however, is:
visp (2.7.0-2 to 2.8.0-2)
Maintainer: Debian Science Maintainers
Too young, only 8 of 10 days old
out of date on armhf: libvisp-dev, libvisp-doc, libvisp2, libvisp2-dbg (from 2.7.0-4)
out of date on ia64: libvisp-dev, libvisp-doc, libvisp2, libvisp2-dbg (from 2.7.0-4)
out of date on powerpc: libvisp-dev, libvisp-doc, libvisp2, libvisp2-dbg (from 2.7.0-4)
out of date on s390: libvisp-dev, libvisp-doc, libvisp2, libvisp2-dbg (from 2.7.0-4)
visp (source) has new bugs!
Updating visp introduces new bugs: #723803
Not considered
Depends: visp coin3
Depends: visp libav (not considered)
Depends: visp opencv (not considered)
Depends: visp soqt (not considered)
Both libav and opencv have ongoing transitions in unstable. visp itself
is RC buggy due to its multiple FTBFS (#723803).
However, visp appears not to have any reverse-dependencies in testing,
so we could remove visp, age soqt a little and see what happens.
