It depends if you want to package/maintain it or just want to request that somebody else to packages it. If you want to package+maintain, then you need to report an ITP [0] bug against 'wnpp', otherwise you need to report a RFP [1]. You might found useful this page [2], and these [3][4][5] if you want to create the debian package by yourself. > Should i look for a sponsor? You just need a sponsor to upload the package to the archives. > Can i become a debian maintainer? No, you don't need to become a "Debian Maintainer" to maintain packages. BTW, please reply your messages to [email protected] (instead [email protected]), since that's the correct mailing list regarding this subject.
