I did discussed at Debian Med mailing list and besides other mails (also
in PM) this one[1] expresses the same strong agreement as I do. As you
might possibly know the Debian Med project as one of the Blends inside
Debian maintains some so called tasks which are kind of categorising the
applications. The tasks page[2] provides an overview about current
categories we are maintaining.
Your package is somehow "end user" oriented (not for practicioners or
researchers) and the only task which is currently featuring such things
is "tools" (which is some kind of "something else" currently). I'm not
perfectly comfortable by putting Sitplus into this category. While Eric
in his posting[1] suggested a new category "accessibility" I'm not
really sure that this is not missleading because in terms of computer
usage we are trying to make programs more accessible for people with
some handicap when using the term "accessibility". I personally would
rather tend to a category "therapy" which might fit better into the
medical context and also might find some other applications which fit in
later.
What's your opinion about such a categorisation out of the options
{tools, accessibility, therapy}. Finally as the packager we would
defintely consider your vote as expert.

So you might like to read the team policy[3] which in your case
boils down to something like:
1. Subscribe to the Debian-Med alioth project (or tell me
your Alioth login - I did not found your name in the list
of Alioth users) - this enables commit permission to the
VCSes we use in Debian Med
2. Decide either for Git or SVN and commit your packaging
stuff for Sitplus
3. Ping the mailing list debian-med@lists.debian.org for
sponsoring.
Subscribing this list makes sense regarding the maintenance
of the package itself as well as possibly getting some
other packages which you might be interested in.
Kind regards
Andreas.
