There are two paths here: (A) find someone willing to maintain the package in Debian, preferably a Debian Developer or a Debian Maintainer (B) agree to maintain the package yourself in Debian. Then you need to find someone (a sponsor) who will review the package and upload it to Debian on your behalf. This can happen inside a team (if there's a team where those packages are a good fit), or outside, using the http://mentors.debian.net/ service. The full process is described on https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/ . (I ran into this bug during a routine QA task so I don't have any particular interest in SSTP, and I have very limited time for Debian currently, so I'm not a good candidate to be that sponsor) Lucas
