Maybe you should take a look at this url before announcing any more
packages.
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-upload.en.html#s6.1
from the url above:
Assuming no one else is already working on your prospective package, you must then
submit a short bug (Submitting Bugs, Section 10.2) against the pseudo package wnpp
and send a copy to debian-devel@lists.debian.org describing your plan to create a new
package, including, but not limiting yourself to, a description of the package, the license
of the prospective package and the current URL where it can be downloaded from.
You should set the subject of the bug to ``ITP: foo -- short description'', substituting the
name of the new package for foo. The severity of the bug report must be set to wishlist.
Please include a Closes: bug#nnnnn entry on the changelog of the new package in order
for the bug report to be automatically closed once the new package is installed on the
archive (When bugs are closed by new uploads, Section 10.4).
There are a number of reasons why we ask maintainers to announce their intentions:
It helps the (potentially new) maintainer to tap into the experience of people on the
list, and lets them know if anyone else is working on it already.
It lets other people thinking about working on the package know that there already
is a volunteer, so efforts may be shared.
It lets the rest of the maintainers know more about the package than the one line
description and the usual changelog entry ``Initial release'' that gets posted to
debian-devel-changes.
It is helpful to the people who live off unstable (and form our first line of testers).
We should encourage these people.
The announcements give maintainers and other interested parties a better feel of
what is going on, and what is new, in the project.
