It's been a while since I've packaged something entirely new, but this
is also how I have approached it. Especially during periods when it
might take months to make it through NEW, waiting an additional week or
two for discussion around an ITP (especially when the vast majority of
ITPs actually never elecit any sort of response from anyone), seems
rather pointless.
Filing the ITP then immediately uploading seems really sensible,
especially since in the event of a mistake it is trivial to email
ftp-master requesting a REJECT, which IME is usually something they do
right away.
