Some maintainers in Debian already do this. See for example:

Bug#1042082: Please take over udev SysV init script

https://bugs.debian.org/1042082

However if its about discussing init diversity (I'd love to have a
better word for this) in Debian (!), this is clearly not the list that
is likely to reach all of people who do the actually work.

Debian-init-diversity -- Debian ecosystem init system diversity

https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/debian-init-diversity

is the list for that. And yes, its not on official Debian infra structure
on purpose. But there Devuan *and* Debian developers and developers
working for both distributions communicate with one another!

For anyone who has a proposal, I bet its also good to bring in some time
and willingness to contribute in some way.

Best,
