Yep - file a wishlist bug against the wnpp (Work-Needing and Prospective
Packages) pseudo-package with a subject line of the form "RFP: foo" (RFP
stands for Request For Package).

See http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ for more information on WNPP and
details of the preferred format of the bug report.
