Filing a bug for the pgrouting package is the way to contribute changes
if you're not a member of the Debian GIS team.

 https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

Joining the Debian GIS team is recommended for any one who wants to
actively contribute to the packaging, it get you commit access to the
source package git repositories.

That description is not really an improvement, it's very short and
likely to trigger an extended-description-is-probably-too-short lintian
issue.

That's why reference documentation exists to lookup the infrequently
used procedures.
