Most packages don't have autopkgtests so manual testing is going to be
required anyway.

I think you should just upload it to unstable. Experimental is useful if
you want to test the rdeps, but if you do not have a lot of time then
unstable is better since other people will test it a lot more.

Unfortunately uploaders don't get automatically subscribed to the BTS (I
think that should be improved at some point). To subscribe manually, go
to this page and hit "Subscribe" in the top-right corner:
