The how doesn't matter too much; I've done things in a somewhat different order - get my key signed and have one of the signers be my advocate; wait for an application manager, and ask him to sponsor a (trivial) package. I have other packages (see the URL in my .sig), at least some of which should become official Debian packages, or at least distributed-with-Debian packages. None have sponsors as yet...
