You don't need to be a DD to access to alioth and the VCS.

You have to join this project to get access to the VCS.

It is not a git repository. For example,
git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/ann.git
is a valid git repository.
If you want to create a new repo, you will have to connect yourself to
git.debian.org and use the script in the debian science directory.

If I don't make any changes to your package, I usually leave the name in
the changelog author. Otherwise, it is shown in the content itself with
[ ] around.
Anyway, the name of the uploader is still shown. See:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/scilab
or
http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/scilab.html
