I assume that you are talking about getting your software into the official Debian repositories, so I'll describe this procedure. First, in order for a particular to become part of Debian, it has to be packaged. This means, someone needs to write a number of scripts which go into a directory called "debian". These scripts will compile your package and build a Debian package (.deb). Furthermore, the debian directory contains a changelog describing the changes of the package, a so-called control file which tells the package manager about the dependencies (i.e. other Debian packages which have to be installed as well for your package to work) and many more files (depending on the particular type of package). After the package has been built and it meets the quality standards for packages in Debian, it can be uploaded by a Debian Developer (DD) into the Debian archives where it will become available for installation in Debian unstable (and Debian testing and eventually Debian stable). If you are not a Debian Developer, you can still have your packages uploaded into Debian through the means of Debian mentors [1]. Debian mentors is a repository where newbies can upload their packages and ask Debian Developers to sponsor these, which means reviewing and eventually uploading these packages. Once you have gained enough experience and self-confidence - after uploading more packages to Debian through sponsored uploads through Debian mentors - you can eventually apply to become a Debian Developer yourself. Anyway, in your case I would suggest you get into contact with the Debian Developer who maintains the package "webhttrack" [2] (you find his email address on this website). Since your application is a GUI for the webhttrack package, it might make sense that he maintains the GUI for it as well. Hope that helps!
