You mean whether an ITP/RFP bug was filed before?
$ wnpp-check orca
(RFP - #959381) http://bugs.debian.org/959381 plotly-orca
No idea whether you mean this one

I admit itp_from_debian_dir[1] is a bit hidden (seems it also should
call wnpp-check before doing its work) but its very handy.

In the case of poa it is in med-bio and you can find it in the according
blends task[2]. If you want to add some package to the covid-19 task
just add it here[3]. The syntax is similar do debian/control files and
explained in the Blends documentation[4].
Hope this helps
