I think you should wait. What I would suggest is that you find someone
who would be a Debian developer and who could upload your package.
I suppose that the registered debian developer could upload the package
with debian-qa as the maintainer and you could subscribe to debian-qa
to get bugs and so on.
Once your application has been processed you'll be able to set the
Maintainer field yourself. :)

The problem is that you can't become a Debian developer if you
can't show the work you've done for Debian. Why ? Ask the new maintainer
team.
So it's probably a good idea to correct some packages or to help
correcting some packages so that they can show their work to the
new-maintainer team and get processed more quickly.
