You are very welcome to create a guest account for Debian Salsa and open
merge requests for the debian-installer and debian-cd projects [1]. I think
your expertise is very appreciated :-).
The projects can be found here:

There is certainly a lot of room for improvement.
Note: The ia64 stuff for debian-cd was copied verbatim from arm64 (boot-ia64
is copied from boot-arm64 in debian-cd).
