Theoretically speaking, what if I found someone within the Debian
community with a trusted identity who could package the program from
source for me, and then upload it. Could I then remain anonymous as the
upstream author? And is there a website for that? :)
The short answer is that we do not require knowing the real name of upstream
authors.
If you are looking for a DD to package your software, you should file a RFP
(Request For Package) bug on the wnpp pseudopackage. (On a Debian system run
"reportbug wnpp", and follow the prompts.)
Be sure to mention in such a bug that you are the packages upstream
maintainer. (Prospective packagers like to know that they will have a
cooperative upstream mainatiner. )
In addition to that, in general, if you can find a packaging team that is
related to your package, or a mailing list for a package group (like the
debian-java list, for java packages), sending an email to said team/group
might help you find a DD who may be interested in packaging your program.
If you would rather package yourself, and can find a willing sponsor, I see
no reason why you could not use the sponsoring process. After all, Most
sponsors have no evidence that the real-looking names of the sponorees are
not also pseudonyms.
