I'd say that if you want to use Window Maker, then use it.
Is the GNU maintainer required to be the same person as the Window Maker maintainer? If Carlos doesn't have the time to do all these things but is still interested in this partnership happening, then perhaps someone else could. Reading through the GNU Maintainer's guide, a lot of things seem optional. For example: We recommend using savannah.gnu.org for the source code repository for your package, but that’s not required. Although it would be easy enough to mirror the git repository, and it would finally provide a bug tracker! The advertised bug-reporting email address should always be ‘bug-pack...@gnu.org’, to help show users that the program is a GNU package, but it is ok to set up that list to forward to another site if you prefer. We could just forward to this list, etc.
