You can
* ask for someone to become maintainer of this package
by filing an RFP (request for packaging) for it.
* ask for someone to become a temporary maintainer of this package
by filing an RFS (request for sponsor) for it ;
and become maintainer for it yourself later
(after you have gone through new maintainer process)
Since you have created your first debian package,
second possibility seems most likely ;
do you intend to become a debian maintainer ?
Either way, is a good idea to contact debian-mentors@lists.debian.org .
I am not CC-ing them on this message,
because first thing they will need is
a link to a weblocation where they can find your package,
so please include that if you mail them.
(and please CC me, i'm kinda curious).

Read "Debian Free Software Guidelines" ; you can find it on www.debian.org .
If you want it to be translated,
you might also contact the appropriate translators list
(l10n-italian or somesuch, see www.debian.org)
