Thanks!

I agree. I can fix the lintian warnings, write a man page or two, and so
on, but I think I also would need a Debian contact, someone to hold my
hand while walking through the Debian bureaucracy to get it in there. I
tried searching for sponsors on mentors.debian.net once (for a
completely different package), but that wasn't too encouraging.

So, do you know a DD you think would be interested in this package?
