Here is an idea I posted on IRC a while back that should work and
would solve the issues with not every package in NEW having an ITP:

#debian-ftp:

<pabs> random unpolished idea for NEW: instead of rejects, while the
package is in NEW, dak could export the Source/Maintainer/Uploaders to
the BTS but not the package itself, then ftp-masters would file RC
issues against the "NEW" package, which would get closed by new
revisions of the package uploaded to NEW
 <spwhitton> pabs: if the BTS knew about NEW packages that would be
great.  I have to make notes to file bugs the next day etc.
 * pabs asked about feasibility in #debbugs

#debbugs:

<pabs> dondelelcaro: wondering about the feasibility of the BTS side of
this idea from #debian-ftp:
<pabs> <pabs> random unpolished idea for NEW: instead of rejects, while
the package is in NEW, dak could export the Source/Maintainer/Uploaders
to the BTS but not the package itself, then ftp-masters would file RC
issues against the "NEW" package, which would get closed by new
revisions of the package uploaded to NEW
<dondelelcaro> pabs: I'm OK with that in principle; we'd need to figure
out the right way to share that data, but the BTS basically only needs
the information from the .changes anyway
<pabs> dondelelcaro: how about debbugs downloads the deb822 for NEW?
https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.822
<pabs> it is almost the same as Sources files
<pabs> hmm, no Uploaders though
<pabs> IIRC debbugs doesn't look at that though
<pabs> the rest of the info in it seems similar to .changes
<dondelelcaro> hrm; that could work. the bit that we're missing is the
.versions file for NEW which lists the changelogs
<dondelelcaro> but maybe that's not super important for things in NEW
<dondelelcaro> since presuambly there'd only be a few bugs, and they'd
be RC, so someone could just manually fix them up if they weren't
properly versioned after the package completes NEW
<pabs> hmm ok. might be possible to get dak to export the .versions
somehow too
<pabs> anyway, just an idea at this stage. thanks for clarifying it is
reasonable and potentially feasible
