You'll be totally welcome to join the Games Team. If you have an
account in Alioth, please request to join the team group there
(pkg-games) so that we can add you :)

It seems that libsdl-gfx1.2-dev is maintained by the Debian SDL
packages maintainers (pkg-sdl-maintainers).

Of course, no problem :)

You might want to have a look at some of our wiki pages:
http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Development
http://wiki.debian.org/Games/VCS
http://wiki.debian.org/Games/ToolsDiscuss
Currently we're maintaining the packages in two different
repositories, SVN and git. SVN stores just the debian/ part of the
package source, the git repository I'm not very expert on it. I don't
know which of both systems you prefer or are more proficient in.
About sponsorship of the packages, the best thing I'd recommend is to
add it in http://wiki.debian.org/Games/Sponsors/Queue and also drop a
line in the mailing list when you do it. I'll have no problem in
sponsoring it, and we also have more DDs in the team.
Greetings,
Miry
