I see two benefits in filing an ITP in advance:
- it reduces work duplication, should another person work on this
package at the same time.
- it can answer the usual questions: is this package needed, what
need does it answer, is it legally suitable for inclusion in
Debian.
(cf. devref ยง5.1)
The second point is in part answered by a sponsor, but as ITPs are
CC'd to d-devel the whole project (and not only people interested in
sponsoring) can discuss about it.
(Just to be clear, I have no objection to including rssdrop.)
