You reached the development team of the Debians package manager APT,
we can of course help with everything, but we aren't the best place,
so I will just refer you to potentially better contact points:


Packaging (and asking for help with it) in general is better discussed on:
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org

In terms of phantomjs Debian actually has a package for it in the
archive – at least in the unstable and testing releases. It isn't in
stable and the news section in the package tracker shows a troubled
history of on and off maintaining:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/phantomjs
Perhaps its a good idea to talk to the maintainer about joining efforts!

There are also teams for various things, including Javascript, see as an
(incomplete) list: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams

Best regards
