(I assume that by ptlib you refer to pwlib/libpt)

As a first step, I'd like to have both of these in our SVN repository as 
branched off changes from the current stable and straight diffs from there.

To this end, please create an alioth account so I can grant you commit 
access.

Also, no matter how much you are excited in having ekiga 3.0 in 
experimental (and your work on the packaging is most welcome), you 
should be aware that we are close to a stable release and fixing RC bugs 
is our top priority.
I'm not saying where you should put your time, I'm merely saying to be 
patient (and persistent!) when it comes to review and sponsoring.

If you want, you can coordinate with me and the rest of the team on IRC 
(irc.debian.org, #debian-voip).

Thanks,
Faidon
