Another possibility is that one only actually decides that one is
willing to maintain the package in Debian after having *done* a
workable first approximation to packaging and found no monsters
lurking in the makefiles.
Posting an ITP for software that one does not yet *intend* to maintain
but is only considering to maintain would be dishonest, I think.
I wonder whether "Duck" would have been happier if the DD in question
had written "I'll do that!" to the bug instead of "I have uploaded
that" and then artificially waited a couple of days until uploading.
I can hardly imagine that anyone would benefit from such a behavior.
