(I suspect this a spam mail...)Doesn't look like one to me.

But I also doubt Debian will benefit from including his software.

I think it is not so simple to understand what that software can do,
probably it is better that Hermann create some examples that show what
you can do with that.
I have seen other terminal "extensions" that let you have help during
command composition...

If I don't mistake the software don't have a copyright statement and a license to apply to them.
If this is correct the software cannot be used by anyone without a
written permission signed by the copyright owner.
I suggest to Hermann to search for a license to use and then to compile
a correct "use" of that license (== Copyright + license).
You can find an useful introduction on how to do that here, also if you
don't select the GPL license:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html
I would like to suggest to use always the AGPL license, this one is the
only license that I know that let protect your free software on any
actual usage type.
After you have done that and you have select a license that is
"compatible" with Debian you can do:
1) ask is someone in Debian (a DD = Debian Developer) or someone else
can create a package for this software and maintain it.
for doing that you can fill a bug report in the wnpp pseudo-package
you can see here the wnpp filled actually https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=wnpp
I would warn you that this is not a good choice, because probably you
don't will find anyone that will do that.
2) package your software yourself and do the maintenance work. You must
find a mentor that tell you what, eventually, you have make in the wrong
way and help you solve problems. And also a DD: someone (that can be the
same person above) that can publish the package in the Debian repository
for you
you can find more info here:

im not quite sure how to ask someone to create a package for this projectYou can submit an RFP bug to the wnpp pseudopackage but that won't
in debian.

Debian is not a place to promote your programs.

i have updated the website to describe right at the start, what this
program actually does.

thank you for the feedback. its very useful.

Should i send an email to wnpp@debian.org <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=wnpp%40debian.org>
?
The main purpose of RFP bugs is to collect dust.if i make a bug report.. but this is not a bug. this is a programExactly.

Debian is not a place to promote your programs.
Uhm, what are RFP bugs if not exactly a way for someone to promote the existence of code projects they consider relevant to get into Debian?

Also, they are created from stale ITP bugs by Bart's scripts.
And as far as RFP bugs are useful for finding software to package, I feel like ones about software that someone finds useful but lacks the skills to package it are much more useful than ones created by software authors.
