New developer (some day)

[David Coe <david.coe@someotherplace.org>]

Hi Mentors,

I've applied to become a developer, but I read that the backlog is
rather long, so I have a couple of questions.

I've successfully (I think!) packaged a small utility -- gpart -- and am
considering doing one or two more complicated ones to help get me up to
speed.

Would it be appropriate to put up and announce a web site with my .debs
(and a Packages file?)?  Is there such a place already for
developers-in-waiting?  Or is it approprate to ask an existing developer
to upload them for me?  Or is it best to "keep my pants on" until I
become a sanctioned developer?

And am I asking this in the right place, or should I ask in -developers?

Thanks.
