If you would like to work on that, check out this page:
https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers
BTW, a related package is android-permissions, it needs people:

Please report a bug/patch against src:android-platform-system-core,
that is where the adb client is built from on Debian and it also
contains the daemon source code.

The wiki is open to edits from all ;)
I've added it to the BoF and the main wiki page:
https://wiki.debian.org/Mobile/BoF201708?action=diff&rev1=4&rev2=5
https://wiki.debian.org/Mobile?action=diff&rev1=234&rev2=235

Debian doesn't currently support distributing rootfs' suitable for
users, every system that does (including Debian Live CDs) has to hack
around the lack of support for this in dpkg and all the Debian
packages. So I'd strongly suggest basing any rootfs generation on
Debian Live's rootfs munging, so that isn't being maintained twice.
BTW, there are a huge variety of system build tools, please do not
reinvent the wheel :)

live-build has been replaced in Debian by live-wrapper FYI.
