The ITPs are already submitted:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648451
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648452
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648453

If there is consensus within the Thrift project that I not move
forward, I will honor that and not upload to Debian (but that's me, I
can't promise the next person won't come along and upload what they
want).

If there is a credible plan for taking over these ITPs in order to do
it according to your own preferences, then I will step aside and
assign these ITPs to you.

Otherwise I plan to move forward.
