this depends on you and your intentions.
If you want to maintain this package by your own you don't need to
become a member of the Python Packaging Team. But you will need a
sponsor for your uploads then.
One big advantage of team maintained package is that not only one
specific maintaining person (the Maintainer field in d/control) is
required and to be around. You still can add yourself to the Uploaders
field anyway.
Maintaining a package costs time and requires technical skills to
fulfill the Debian packaging policy. Ask yourself if you can ensure you
will have the required time to do the packaging work, especially if you
want to maintain the package alone by yourself, but also if you are
interested in maintaining this package within the DPT.
It's not a good behavior to prepare a package, find a sponsor and then
the contributor isn't seen anymore afterwards. Other Debian maintainer
will need to take care on that package then.

Yes, if you want to create a repo within the teams namespace.
But you can always create new repos within YOUR own namespace! The repo
could later easily transferred into the DPT space on Salsa once the
trees are ready and finished.
I'd suggest to start that way and ask here on the list once you feel
someone should review your work.
You can e.g. force push to your git tree as often you want to do so or
feel to need to do. Once the repo is within the DPT force pushing is a
no-go and is mostly disabled for good reason.

If you are interested in showing that you are willing to do further work
on this issue you should take over the ownership for this issue and also
do a retitle of the bug report e.g. by using the 'bts' command. This is
available locally once you have installed the package devscripts and
have setup a local MTA [1]. I personally use nullmailer for this job
You can then interact with the BTS and set the ownership.

More explanations about controlling the BTS can be found here:
