If in doubt, ask on debian-legal@lists.debian.org. I don't spot any

Yes, you need an account, though that's only a matter of registering.
The uploader has to check anything (s)he uploads, so it will be verified.

If you look at the svn documentation at
http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org, you'll know how to put your packages
in revision control. Don't be afraid to ask questions though.

Please, look first at the existing doc (for getting the packages in
Alioth). The uploader (= your sponsor) will give you feedback.

Well, yes, I'm too busy at the moment to take a look at your packages.
But someone else or later maybe...
