You should probably be aware of Werner's remarks in this discussion
upstream:

If we decide to go ahead with gnupg-doc, i'd be happy to see it
transitioned to the pkg-gnupg-maint team (and Don, if you want to be
part of the team specifically for your work on gnupg-doc, that would be
great too -- i'm not trying to rope you into more responsibilities on
the other gnupg packages).

We're aiming to have most of this stuff handled through git these days.
 if you're doing a major package overhaul, we could just start with a
fresh git repo, or we could try to do some sort of import.

Let me know what you think would be useful.  I'm happy to try to start
the work if we can come to some sort of reasonable understanding about
what that work should be.
