I imagine the release team is a bit backed up at the moment. There are
a few things that you could do that would help make sure that when
they do look at it you'll get a positive response rather than a
request for more information. Namely:

- Attach a diff of the upstream ChangeLog (not debian/changelog), or
some other summery of upstream changes
- Attach a log of a package build on trusty
- Describe any testing done on trusty

Thanks for your work on this!
