Please next time make sure to include description of the packaged program.
I heard about AdvanceMenu first time.

Some comments after looking at your package:

- You should always check your packages with linda and lintian programs.
  That's what prospective sponsors usually checks first, and you've got
  plenty of warnings/errors there.
- manual page should have the same name as binary
- you don't close any ITP in changelog entry, and I can't find any in WNPP
  database

Enough for first time. Please fix these errors and ask for sponsor once
again. Also don't forget we've got more than 15k packages which can be used
as examples.
