Regardless of whether or not you have upload rights, you should file an ITP report against wnpp and cc debian-devel. Also note that I say "should" instead of "must"; it's not a requirement for an ITP bug to be filed prior to uploading a new package (it's not mandated by Policy, but dev-ref [1] instead), but it's fairly common practice and there's no reason not to do so. If all this is still confusing to you, just use reportbug; it'll take care of assigning your report to the right package and X-Debbugs-CC-ing it to the right lists.
