There are two paths here:
(A) find someone willing to maintain the package in Debian, preferably a
Debian Developer or a Debian Maintainer
(B) agree to maintain the package yourself in Debian. Then you need to
find someone (a sponsor) who will review the package and upload it to
Debian on your behalf. This can happen inside a team (if there's a team
where those packages are a good fit), or outside, using the
http://mentors.debian.net/ service. The full process is described on
https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/ .
(I ran into this bug during a routine QA task so I don't have any
particular interest in SSTP, and I have very limited time for Debian
currently, so I'm not a good candidate to be that sponsor)
