I see two benefits in filing an ITP in advance:

  - it reduces work duplication, should another person work on this
    package at the same time.
  - it can answer the usual questions: is this package needed, what
    need does it answer, is it legally suitable for inclusion in
    Debian.

(cf. devref §5.1)

The second point is in part answered by a sponsor, but as ITPs are
CC'd to d-devel the whole project (and not only people interested in
sponsoring) can discuss about it.

(Just to be clear, I have no objection to including rssdrop.)
