The `advocate' and the `sponsor' are different roles.
The `advocate' is somebody who is already a developer, who is willing to
say that you would make a suitable developer.
The `sponsor' is somebody who is willing to verify that a particular
package you have made is good, and upload it for you.
Fairly often, these can be the same people.

Talk to your sponsor, get them to check the packages. If all is well, and
it is a new package, file an ITP. Your sponsor should know the exact
procedure.
