https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/devscripts says
∙ ∙ blocked by freeze: is a key package (Follow the freeze policy when applying for an unblock)

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/diffoscope says
∙ ∙ not blocked: has successful autopkgtest

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/debian-security-support says
∙ ∙ Ignoring block request by freeze, due to unblock request by sramacher
(and before that it said it was blocked by the freeze...)

so I think most of what you want is there already?
