I think the package should show up here in any case:
http://blends.debian.org/science/tasks/statistics
(Debian Science)
and also in the Debian Med task
http://blends.debian.org/med/tasks/statistics
The relation between Debian Med and Debian Science is "cooperative" and
I'm a member of both teams - even if I'm involved in Debian Med with the
highest priority. I simply think that for some more general not
primarily medicine related software you might find more helpers in
Debian Science.
Finally it does not really matter whether you maintain the package in
Debian Med or Debian Science version control system. Debian Med has a
bit better documentation (I just pointed you to the policy) while this
is work in progress in Debian Science.

I just moved the thread. Please note that Debian mailing lists have the
policy to not CC single persons. If you are not subscribed you should
explicitly ask for the CC.
In short:
* create an alioth.debian.org account
* decide yourself for a team (both are fine) and apply to this
* commit your work
* I'll sponsor it
Kind regards
Andreas.
