You might have a look at the CDD documentation how to ITP[1].
Well, you can guess my purpose is slightly different, say Debian-wide, as tags
I've listed show.
Yes, but you was posting to debian-science list and because I assumed
you did this on purpose instead of posting to debian-devel I gave a comment
from my debian-science perspective.
Therefore i think different users can be suitable to
different purposes.

I just learned that RFPs are most promising if you try to reach people
who have a direct interest in the topic of the package. So if I would
like to RFP a game I would foreward this to a games related mailing list,
if the package is about science I try to inform debian-science and
if it is about medicine/biology I try to involve people reading debian-med
mailing list. It is a question of pushing the information to a place
where it might be relevant. If you think the package is relevant on
more than one mailing list, keep both CCed.
I'm not sure the latter couldn't be the case. For instance, I might help with
tags, when I'm not really too busy. Of course we'd need an easy way to track
ITPs and RFPs.
Hmmm, perhaps I missed the point in your original mail, but I thought
qour intention would be tagging the ITP/RFP bugs.
Until now, I've been adding software to DebianScience* wiki pages, like
Charles often did.
If I understood Charles right he just used the Wiki because it was
much easier to keep up to date than the wml in Debian web CVS. Since
there is a chance to auto generate up to date pages easily form a single
source of information (the tasks files) he agreed to use this because
it seems to me the most efficient way to present all our knowledge
about software we have and we would like to have.
Anyway if I can help doing simple things, I will, as far
as I have time.
Well, checking WNPP for ITPs/RFPs that are relevant for debian-science
sounds simple and at least forewarding this to the list is easy.
I must learn to use Subversion, too. :-)
Well, a patch is welcome too, but SVN is not that hard to learn.
(Trust me, I was reluctant myself. ;-) )
Kind regards
Andreas.
