As noted by Sean, most of the implementation already exists.

I demonstrated an upload in a lightning talk in Curitiba in 2019,
and again in my talk in the 2023 Cambridge MiniDebconf. [1]

I stopped working on the final implementation details when it became
clear that deployment would be rejected by ftpmaster.  Are you saying
you think I should complete the programming work now, and hope that
the political blockage will be overcome in the future?  It's been 4
years already and there has been no movement.
