After an approval from Peter de Wachter via private e-mail, I've committed my patches to the Debian Games Team's Subversion repository, built the package, uploaded it to mentors.debian.net[0] and put up an RFS on the Games Team's sponsors queue Wiki page. Once again, thanks to both of you for your work on alex4.
