We are here to help you overcoming the feeling of beeing overwhelmed.

This is in fact what we really want to do here. VistA is a real killer
application and it would drastically enhance Debian Med so we are really
interested. IMHO sharing expertise is the most straightforeward way to
go here: We are lacking expertise in GT.M, but we are knowing a lot
about packaging - so we try to do our best here.

This seems to have worked:
https://alioth.debian.org/users/alanoneill-guest/
and I just have added you to the Debian Med team which grants you commit
permission to SVN and Git.

Great.

I would recommend to commit your current state of work to
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/gtm/trunk
(or any better name than gtm according to your own decision - just follow
the example of all the other packages there).
Do not hesitate to keep on asking if something remains unclear.
Kind regards
