Maybe somebody else knows about the software and has a reason not to upload it, or has a suggestion of a synergy.

If you're packaging something trivial, doing an ITP seems pointless if it takes longer to wait for the BTS round trip than it takes for building, testing, and uploading (been there, done that) -- though even in that case it does still make sense to /check/ for other ITP or RFP bugs. The ITP process is informative, not required.

By “its author”, I meant the author of the bug report, not the author of the software.
