Others have pointed you at the packaging documentation but I have some extra advice. A good way to contribute is to help out with packages that are important or interesting to you in some way. The how-can-i-help tool can help find packages installed on your system that need help in some way. https://wiki.debian.org/how-can-i-help Debian mostly does mentoring by having people ask specific questions in public and having people who know the answers reply in public. There are also a few opportunities for one-on-one mentoring: https://wiki.debian.org/Mentoring There are lots of other ways to contribute, including other technical options: https://www.debian.org/intro/help -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
