RFP means "someone else please do this", you need to file an RFS if you're actively looking for a sponsor and want to package/maintain the package yourself. https://mentors.debian.net/sponsors/rfs-howto/ RFP is more of a +1 vote on this software being useful, which can be useful to convince people it should be in Debian. However I'm not aware of any DDs actively watching those bugs for things to work on. It also looks like you didn't CC debian-devel (sending to debian-science instead) on the ITP as per devref https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#new-packages that's usually how DDs outside of debian-mentors learn about new (potentially interesting) packages. In the future you might consider CC'ing debian-mentors on ITPs you want sponsored anyway, just in case some mentors aren't subscribed to d-devel. Alternatively including the elaborate description from the ITP in the RFS is a good idea too. CC'ing a more focused list like d-science in the ITP/RFS isn't a bad idea either. tl;dr: more CCs == more better. Just don't go too crazy. --Daniel
