No, not about things like this.
Regardless, you have three options:
1) Convince the maintainer who filed the ITP not to package it;
2) Convince the ftp-masters not to accept it into the archive;
3) Propose a GR to reject it.
None of these three is really a debian-devel question.
An entirely separate option is to propose a policy to provide for some
person or persons to be empowered to reject packages on the basis of
their content. If you want to do that, do it, but I don't think your
threat that somehow whatever you propose will win the necessary
constitutional majority is worth anyone losing sleep over.
