You likely want to fix your build system  for Debian :)

The Debian-Games team (as probably every Debian team) is cronically
understaffed, so the best course of action to prepare/maintain the games
package yourself and find a sponsor for the upload.
If you are interested in that, here're some links to get you started:

https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/ (esp the references)
https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging

For finding a sponsor, I'd recommend to use https://mentors.debian.net
and when ready file a RFS bug against pseudo-package "sponsorship-requests".

There is also an upstream guide, which has relevant information too:
https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide

If you don't want to maintain the games, the Debian procedure to make
someone aware on something that should be packaged is a "RFP" bug.
See https://wiki.debian.org/RFP for a few more words. To get one,
"reportbug wnpp" will get you started.
