  If I understand correctly, you are now a member in pkg-electronics team.
  To create a git repository for your package run the following:

  $ ssh git.debian.org
  $ cd /git/pkg-electronics
  $ ./setup-repository <repo name> <description>

  Then exit the SSH session, and on your local git repository, add the 
  following URL as the remote:
  ssh://<your_alioth_username>@git.debian.org/git/pkg-electronics/iverilog.git

  Well, some prefer that the git repository only contains the 'debian' 
  directory, some prefer that the whole package (ie. debian & upstream 
  code) are in the git repository.

  There is also a tool called 'git-buildpackage' that would make 
  packaging user git a better experience.

  There is a document by pkg-perl team, which might be useful:
  http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/git.html

  You don't need to read all of it, as we don't use 'mr' nor 
  'dh-make-perl'
