A naive suggestion, but maybe if it had a proper homepage it would more
look like a project to contribute in? I have the feeling that Debian
native packages are easily ignored because they do not exist in the same
sphere as the typical free software projects that periodically release
stable tar.gz versions on http://theirname.org. It would especially make
sense as it is ported on other distributions...

Have a nice day,
