But in experimental only, and given that experimental has almost no
visibility, and is difficult and discouraged to use, i would let the
RFP/ITP bug open, be it only to inform people a package is available in
experimental, so a new RFP/ITP doesn't get filled.

I have no experience in uploading new packages to experimental, and
don't know what the usual practice is in such cases. I guess there were
few enough such cases that no clear practice exists anyway.
