Sure - the license seems to be DFSG free, so why not.

My (>10 years) experience has shown that RFPs are in most cases not
successfull and a request on the wiki (which page???) also has probably
not the best chances. For Debian Med we are using the so called
tasks pages from the Blends framework and I just added gmap to
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/blends/projects/med/trunk/debian-med/tasks/bio
which will automatically turned into an entry at
http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio#gmap
My attempt to provide a description is quite weak. You seem to know the
program better - so any DD has commit permissions to the SVN above and I
would really invite you to enhance this. IT is a good preparation for
an ITP or a control file and so this time is not wasted.

Just have a look into the Debian Med policy
http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html
and ask on the list if something remains unclear. If you are working in
the field of medicine / biology it would be great if you would subscribe
debian-med at lists.debian.org (and send a short introduction of yourself to
the list).

That's good and makes some technical things (Vcs commits, upload of
packages more smooth).
We would be really happy if you would join our team
