If you didn't send and email to this list, asking for a sponsor for
that package, you (most probably) won't receive any "follow up" at
all.

No. Debian is based on volunteer work done by people in their free
time (both for DD and non-DD of course), so there is no expected
timing. It's easier to receive attention for updated/QA packages then
for new (to Debian) packages.
Personally, I tend to give more priority to QA uploads or updates for
packages already in Debian (since this improve the quality of the
distribution "as is") since the time to check a new package is usually
much more than the one available (and it's even boring!).

That's not noise, it's a correct request for information :)
If you don't get replies in 2 weeks, resend the RFS, you can have more
lucky that time :) and try to start from orphaned packages or the ones
in need for some "love" instead of packaging new tools
