Christian, have you filed an ITP (intent to package) yet?  If not,
please do so as soon as you can.

+1 Carsten, that's my recommendation too, same rationale, and I'd add
that starting a project in personal namespace is zero risk.

  1. You have a remote backup of your work.
  2. You can do whatever you want with it (ie make branches and/or tags
  of experiments that may or may not work out, squash, rebase, force
  push--as noted--etc.)
  3. So it's lower stress and builds confidence faster than working
  directly in a team-managed namespace imho.
  4. Moving the repo during the sponsorship procedure can be a
  reassuring milestone.
  5. Doing Debian development "in the open" is sometimes an
  uncomfortable adjustment, and staging work in personal namespace is a
  more gentle path.

Regards,
Nicholas
