For some of the internal aspects of the Debian project, including

All these packages are taken up in the sense that there are already
Debian people who maintain them. In the case of these packages it might
be better to:
1. Grab the debian source from a debian archive.
2. Patch it with the additions you see fit.
3. Make a new deb for local use.
4. Test it.
5. submit a wishlist bug for each package with the patches you made.
This would also help you become more familiar with the internals of the
Debian packaging system and introduce yourself to official debian
people since hopefully you will work a bit with the maintainers of the
packages you are submitting the wishlist bugs to. Do note that if the
problem is only the fact that the last upstream source is not debianized
yet then it would be solved automagically when the maintainers will
debianized a newer tar ball.
