If you have worked on "backports", I honestly do wonder why your email
address doesn't ring a bell at all in terms of pkg-voip-maintainers. For
the Xorcom repository, if you have done good work there, probably
Tzafrir can confirm this and give us a positive short briefing on the
details. Yet, XORCOM is not Debian and may have its own targets and
priorities.

Regarding uploading packages into Debian, yes, those need a Debian
Developer sponsoring the upload. For asterisk* that's normally Mark or
me. asterisk-chan-capi has been moved over to Lionel lately who now
maintains it actively in pkg-voip. All of us three (plus Jose when he
finds the time between his 175 packs to maintain *g* SCNR) you can email
your questions in case you have any. Feel free to bring them forth in a
private mail if you think they're unsuitable for public discussion.

So, a bit more to the point, what kind of "work" did you intend to help
with? I myself do plan more automatic testing with the archive at
http://pkg-voip.buildserver.net/ which shall become a fully automated
autobuilder from SVN. Basically we could have your sarge backports fall
straight out of there (and optionally replicate them onto another server
for redundant hosting). Probably the best is to make more use of
branches in SVN for this where needed. Feel free to mail me off-list for
more in-depth discussion.

Tzafrir, any comments?
