I prepared packages but didn't upload them to Debian as the atd
interaction was too buggy (lots of spurious email messages if you
actually used it to set event reminders).

Certainly I'm happy for someone else to do the work.

As I understand it, you're not a DD yet though?  That causes some
trouble for something like this with the various library packages etc.
that are part of it -- if they're doing things properly, your sponsor
will end up doing more work checking everything before upload than if
they just packaged things themselves....  (Sponsors are *not* meant to
just upload packages blindly.)
