I am not a DD or DM, so I can't offer sponsoring, but here are some
things for you to look at.
I'm hoping to help you improve the package and to learn myself as well.

 * d/changelog
   - Usually only the versions that made into Debian are listed here,
so I'd collapse the entries to just one entry containing "Initial
release" only.

 * d/control
   - The Vcs-* fields point to debian packaging. You should specify
the branch in Vcs-Git as described in Debian Policy §5.6.26 [1] and
add Vcs-Browser field, too.

* d/rules
  - Most of those comment lines seem to be from a package template and
could be removed. I'd keep just L29 which actually explains why
something is done (and of course L1 which is the special shebang
line).

* d/README.source
   - In upstream README.md you tell Debian Maintainers to use the
genorigtar.sh. Looking at Policy §4.14, I think README.source should
also instruct to do that.

* Paul Wise already wondered if libtgl should be separately packaged.
The related Debian Policy bit is §4.13 [3]
