I couldn't resist having a quick look now. :-) I suggest to ask debian-release for a pre-approval for wheezy with a debdiff including all three changes. So I suggest to keep the flag "needs sponsor" at mentors on "no" for now. Fixing 697276 (kmod) looks like a safe change that should be fixed in wheezy. On bug 697275 I'm not sure, so you should doublecheck and doubletest that the change does not change anything that has been fine in testing during the freeze so far. Make sure that there's no regression at all. Bug 684592 should really be fixed in wheezy, so it's even worth a separate upload for wheezy in my opinion. Depending on the outcome of debian-release you can go ahead with requesting sponsorship for this package as-is (set "needs sponsor" to "yes") or do a separate upload for wheezy with reduced changes you got pre-approval for. Other changes are best uploaded to experimental, not to unstable, so that unstable remains available for additional uploads for wheezy. More questions best via debian-mentors, so other sponsors can help you faster than I can.
