In general, please direct the discussion to the list.
I'm not sure why lintian does not catch this, but your changelog needs
work.
- target should be debian unstable, not ubuntu.
- Your closes line is wrong, it should not be part of the line with
urgency=low.
- Your changelog should also close a Debian ITP bug, since that is the
right place to have a discussion about whether a proposed package is
suitable for Debian.

You still need to provide a description that is useful for debian users

Then I think you will have to target contrib rather than Debian main
until you can build in Debian. See policy 2.2.2 for an explanation.

MS-Windows certainly counts as a non-free package ;).

Do you think there is enough audience to justify uploading to Debian at
this time? What would this audience be?

Right, so please add that to your long description.
