Sorry. The problems you faced are valid. But git-ubuntu is so wide in scope, I've been focused on getting the fundamentals together, and haven't implemented the "first time contributor" type use cases yet. So far I've stabilised the importer, implemented workflows for routine developer tasks (see the Ubuntu Maintainer's Handbook[1] that was linked), implemented the capability for git commits to be preserved through the conversion to "tarball-style" source packages that Ubuntu requires as its single source of truth, and expanded repository coverage to the entire archive (barring a few edge case failures that appeared that I need to get back to). I think the next key bits missing are "git ubuntu build" which I'm focusing on next, and updating the Ubuntu Packaging Guide for git-ubuntu, which is currently not scheduled. There's also a skeleton of git-ubuntu documentation up[2] but that is still quite sparse, and most of Ubuntu development workflows that use git-ubuntu should probably end up being documented in the packaging guide instead, leaving the git-ubuntu documentation itself for the innards of it. There's also "staging branches" that I'm working on[3]. So, lots going on, but sorry the passer-by use case isn't implemented yet. Currently git-ubuntu is a less-than-one person project - currently it's a fraction of my time only.
