Hi Samuel you need to send this to submit@bugs.debian.org and not to your existing ITP bug, since opening an RFS bug actually is filling out a new bug against the sponsoring-requests pseudo-package in Debian.

The subject of your email therefore should be: RFS: exposong/0.8-1 [ITP| -- A worship presentation software Additionally I suggest you list the contents of your changelog, even it contains only a single trivial.
