Yes, that is confusing: Upload is public, can be done by anyone. About 10 minutes later one of 3 things will happen: a) confirmation that the upload was accepted b) notice that the upload was queued for ftpmaster approval c) total silence, indicating rejection That third option is annoying and confusing - it is silent because anyone can upload, meaning that contact information can be fraudelent and to avoid the equivalent of backscatter no email is sent in case if rejection. If accepted it would appear at https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fonts-sil-awami-nastaliq If queued it would appear at https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html Since this upload doesn't appear at either of those places, I guess you received no followup mail and it was rejected.
