If this sounds ok for you, create an account on alioth, and ask to be
added to the collab-maint project (which is a project dedicated to
collaborative maintenance of Debian packages).

Once done, I will create a git repository for git and we can begin
working together on it.

I didn't know waf was about to be removed from Debian. However, as far
as I know, it shouldn't cause any issue, as you state, as long as
upstream ships it in the tarballs.

Please keep me informed of Troorl's answer.

You can check it now, packages are now setup in my repository as well.
