Currently the Fonts team is understaffed, we need more people. Same
for Debian and free software in general I think. I would suggest that
you might like to package Font Industry yourself, and have your
package uploaded to Debian through a sponsor. If you need more help
than the links below, please see #debian-mentors on irc.debian.org or
##fonts on irc.freenode.net.
Some links to get you started:
How sponsoring packages and so on works:

The new "Debian Maintainers" procedure:

Where to upload packages:

Debian python stuff:

Policy about how packages and developers should behave:
