The description is necessary for people to give feedback on your
Intent To Package this work.

Who gave you that impression? I have never seen any Debian packaging
documentation that would lead someone to believe the procedure is
automated. Can you point me to what made you believe that?

You are hoping to get a sponsor for this package, so I wonder if you
already have someone in mind? Did you ask them about what it means to
file an ITP report?

No, but you should describe the package in this bug report so people
can understand what it is you are intending to package and how you
will describe it.
