Using yodack[1], this would look something like this:

  yodack on ftp-master.debian.org, \
         for dm 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF, \
         please allow uploading plotly.

It will do all the required steps. There may be better options, or
in-debian tools that help you do the same thing, but yodack is what I
know. I faintly remember there being a reason why yodack never made it
into Debian (such as a better alternative), like this:

 dcut dm --uid 1234567890ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF --allow=plotly

But that's purely speculation, based on dcut(1).
