Great, welcome!
Have you had a look at the team wiki section
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby
Consider joining the Alioth project so you can access the team repository.

Sounds great!

It is good to have a tentative list of prospective packages, especially to show
what others can do if they want to help out.
Both Diaspora and GitLab are discussed widely on this list from time to time,
with lists of gems and current status etc, e.g. this thread discussing GitLab
https://lists.debian.org/debian-ruby/2014/03/msg00070.html

I understood that this was solved in another way. However, if you need to
create and handle patches quilt is the standard tool for this, hence the
source format 3.0 (quilt).
Quick one-off patches are created simply with dpkg-source --commit.
