[ re-sending, as I screwed up the CC, sorry to those will receive the
duplicated ]
Note: I won't sponsor this package, as for a policy I don't sponsor NEW
packages for people without a track of previous contributions.

Well, RFPs have no "owner". It's just somebody saying "pretty please
could somebody package this and upload to the archive".

Yes.
As the person who sponsored that upload to Ubuntu, I wouldn't have done
so if the RFP (that I found) was a ITP, as uploading it to Ubuntu would
have been a clear duplication of work.
Also the RFS should be marked as a blocker of the ITP, but the automated
tool doing that doesn't act on RFP packages (correctly…)

Well, I can tell you that the package in Ubuntu now is perfect to be
uploaded as it is, in particular the package at mentors is worse in the
following points:
* Section of the binary should be libdevel, not libs
* copyright is incomplete
* missing watchfile
* spurious .directory files from Dolphin (?!?)
* the synopsis is very poor
* dh compat 9 instead of 10

aye, they are short, but given it's already in a Ubuntu it can't really
be ignored.
