Definitively worth to go through the list.

Long term yes. As of my understanding of Debian release mechanisms, once in Debian it will be harder to change the upstream version to a new one. So maybe wait a little for some more maturity of the project.
Going through the RFP list i saw rx_tools is listed: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=841022
Petter Reinholdtsen already did some initial packaging work in 2016.
Is he still around on this list ? If yes i'd be interested to know why it has been abandoned. Just lack of time or interest or any more serious issues ?
This could be a first packaging project that shouldn't be too hard. My only concern would be that it doesn't seem maintained upstream anymore. It is definitively a useful tool when working with scripts that interface various SDR receivers. Some don't have a cli tool (SDRPlays...) or not always convenient to use in automated scripts (BladeRF...).
Thanks and best regards,
Martin
