There is no need to. It is not necessary for the task but would have
been a (admittedly minor) advantage. The task you need to would be to
fill in some templates of debian/control, debian/changelog,
debian/metadata/upstream basically and when doing so you will get some
clue. These are the machine readable files that are parsed to get the
needed Blends metadata. Commiting this to a Git repository is no big
deal. En passant you will get some idea what files will be needed to
package some software which might be an extra advantage for you. You
will easily learn this after I have shown you an example.

After reading your timeline posting I'm very sure that I was able to
answer your questions. The document looks very structured and I have no
additional hints to it.
Looking forward to work together with you in GSoC
