Conveniently, curtin is a project whose upstream is maintained in Launchpad,
and you've targeted your MP to the correct branch - and there are sensible
default reviewers ("curtin developers" instead of, say "Ubuntu Core
Development Team" who do not receive launchpad email) so everything's on
track for this to be reviewed by the maintainers, there's nothing else you
need to do out of band.
