How cool that you take the time to chase down and inform up distributors 
about your new release!

I am not the maintainer of python-musicbrainzngs, but here are some 
pointers:

The simplest way to get in touch with python-musicbrainzngs maintainers 
is by emailing python-musicbrainzngs at packages.debian.org .

The ideal way to request newer "upstream" (that's what we call you) 
release to be packaged is to file a bugreport about it of severity 
"wishlist": http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

The lazy way is to just sit back and wait for the package maintainers to 
get around to doing it - after perhaps verifying that our automated 
tracking indeed have noticed your newer release: 
http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/musicbrainzngs.html

That QA web page above might be of interest to you in other ways too: At 
the bottom left corner you can subscribe to changes to the package.  
That way you receive notice on bugreports, package releases etc.


Hope that helps, and thanks a lot for your fine piece of code,

 - Jonas

P.S.

I now cc'ed the maintainers this mail, so if opting for the lazy 
approach you can be even more so ;-)
