Yes, the upstream is working In my laboratory. He is also the upstream
of python-scientific (orphaned). I did not yet fill an ITP for mmtk.
But it is in preparation.
Here at SOLEIL[1] we developped at least a software on top of mmtk, so
I am evaluating the amount of work for packaging it. Then I will
certainly fill an ITP for mmtk. This is also the way I work, I do the
packaging and if the upstream is responsive enought (integration of
packaging patch, bugs etc...) and after a few iteration of upstream
version, it is ok for me to take the responsability for the package, so I
endorse the ITP.
I am using the debian-science infrastructure to share the work via the
repository.

I understand your concern about publicity to avoid parallel works.
Maybe I should have advertize my work a little bit more on the mailing
list, and maybe the first step would be to fill the ITP first... or
maybe an RFP is more adequate in my case.

In fact this mmtk package is for now a black box for me. I spoke with
the upstream to propose a good Description of this package, which is
for now not understandable for a non-specialist. In fact this
Description step is a pre-requis before filling an ITP or RFP, exactly
for this advertizing effect.
I just start the work this week-end so let me a little more time
before every things will be set up ;) correctly. And maybe I will be able
to answer your question if it is of some interest for DebiChem :).

PS: I am thinks about a way to organize the work done by
synchrotron-radiation facilities to share as much as possible our
scientific software efforts. I will try to find some time to send a
mail explaining this efforts. Nevertheless I started a page about this
on the wiki [2].
