     i have that question too. i went through the debian maintainer link (posted
 above by john). it is very difficult to find debian sponsor/mentor, 
 particularly, when i am not using debian myself. 

Ben Pfaff is a debian developer and would probably be very happy to sponsor
someone who was seriously interested in taking over maintainership of PSPP in 
Debian.  Ben - would you?

However you are probably right that it will be hard to convince a anybody that 
one
has a serious interest in Debian maintainership yet does not use Debian.
