If you want to release a .deb yourself, then you're completely free to
do so. If you want to have it released with Debian, then have a look at
http://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint, or perhaps seek a sponsor for
your package on the debian-mentors list.

There isn't really a Debian to be interested, per se, at least not in
the sense you seem to mean. :)

New packages will have to be released into woody (future 2.3); you can't
get new packages into either slink or potato now.
