No problem, I can strongly recommend asking lots of questions on
debian-mentors, it's much better to find a group of people you can
bounce ideas off than trawling through *all* the docs.

Again, I'm not part of debian-input-method, so strictly speaking yes you
would be following the rules to ITS every single package. However, that
doesn't seem productive - once you've followed up on keyman, most teams
would consider that enough for you to work on the other team packages
just adding yourself to Uploaders.

Ultimately if they all have the same upstream source, you may even
decide it's a bit pointless to have all the different *source* package
names. If you decide to consolidate, you'd want to look at the process
for migrating binary packages i.e. versioned Replaces and Breaks.
