Please follow the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess to request sponsorship if your packaging is ready. You can do so by either making a merge proposal into lp:ubuntu/package or subscribing the ~ubuntu-sponsors to the relevant bug with the debdiff attached. That way it will make it into the review queue [1] for sponsors to upload it.
