I've checked with the GNOME team and there are no known blockers. May we 
go ahead with the initial uploads?

Also gnome-shell-extensions, as usual; and the maintainers of some 
third-party extensions will need to re-upload from experimental to 
unstable:

- gnome-shell-extension-easyscreencast
- gnome-shell-frippery

A few extensions haven't yet been ported, and will need removing when 
the transition is otherwise ready, if not fixed by then:

- gnome-shell-extension-autohidetopbar
- gnome-shell-extension-flypie (NMU pending in DELAYED/14)
- gnome-shell-pomodoro
