Yes, see my past mails, our PET instance can be found at

http://pet.debian.net/pkg-multimedia/pet.cgi

I've installed repository hooks to keep PET's database in sync with our
repositories each time a team member pushes fresh commits. Among others,
it inspects debian/changelog of the 'HEAD' branch to determine if a
package is ready for upload or not.

Note that we do team-work, so I encourage every team member to also look
at other packages. PET greatly assists with highlighting what package
needs work.

Ah, in that case you actually ask for additional reviewers and testers
instead of only an uploader (often called 'sponsor'). That's great!

Agreed :-)
