If it's listed here:-
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/

See here:-

If there's no an existing bug report for the package, create one, then 
adopt it.

I haven't tried this, but was considering doing so last year - the 
process may have changed since then. I'm assuming you have some 
knowledge of packaging.
