Hi Maitland, thanks for your interest and proposing the help in maintaining VTK. It will always good to have more people involving in maintaining of such a large and complex package.
I think you can surely coordinate your efforts with Gert, who is preparing VTK7/VTK8 for the Buster. I will keep maintaining VTK6 till it will be deprecated and replaced by a newer versions.
