You could mirror incoming.debian.org and build a Packages file for it
and so on. Otherwise you would need special access to the
accepted-autobuild repository, which is the same person as wanna-build
acess.
So basically you just wait a day for the sources to appear on your
debian mirror. Who cares about a day more or less?
