Re: How to contribute a tool to debian?



Hi,

You can create a debian package yourself and let it upload through a
sponsor. So there is no need to ask for approval in the debian
distribution. And if there is enough upstream development then someone
might interested to sponsor you.

Look at the following pages:
http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/

For more information about maintainer ship you can mail to
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org

Regards,

Matthijs Mohlmann
