I find reading ITPs

1) increases my interest in Debian because I see cool stuff people are
doing

2) Is one of the ways I learn about software I might find useful

3) Potentially could point me in the direction of software to contribute
to.

All those are valuable to me even when an ITP is filed immediately
before uploading.

I agree that we could find other ways of getting that information to
people who are interested.
But today, in my work flow, ITPs are useful to me as an ITP consumer
even if immediately before upload.

+1 to evertyhing quoted. Thanks, Sam!
