Besides the fact that Steffen volunteered to do this: There is no need
that the ITPer is a Debian Developer. Anybody can issue an ITP. The
only point in time when you need a Debian Developer is the first upload
of the package.

In principle yes. In those specific cases chances are low that some
random maintainer might pick a biological package. Announcing your
intent here and ITP with a nearly finished package is fine as well.

You mean the info given at
http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio#ampliconnoise
? This is in SVN in tasks files[1]. I'd volunteer to do the change if
you would send me a patch. I usually watch the commits so I see if you
inject something and add this info.

So the text inbetween "------" should be replace the currently quite
short description?
Kind regards
