Dear Innocent,
In the hope of speeding up and strenghtening the processing of NEW I had a look
at your package. The rationale is explained in the proposal in the following
wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/CopyrightReview
I have not found explicit copyright or licence statement that would be
missing from your debian/copyright file.
However, I looked at the contents of the images directory, and it appears
that most of them are missing their source, as they were made as a vector
graphics with Inkscape. See for instance edit-redo.png
$ exiftool edit-redo.png
ExifTool Version Number : 8.15
File Name : edit-redo.png

In my personal opinion, it would be necessary to include their sources in your
package to strictly conform with the DFSG. If you picked these icons from a
collection, you need in addition to credit their author and check that their
license is compatible with the GPLv3, and of course document this in
debian/copyright.
Have a nice day,
