For recompiling, assuming you are "Happy Sponsor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>", use dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -m'Happy Sponsor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'. Then, you can simply dupload. speak a bit with the future developer about what he wants to do for Debian and about his motivation. send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] telling them that the candidate successfully packaged XX (which is in Incoming) and that he also wants to do YY for Debian (if he told you something of course !).
