Hey Dolan, glad to hear this!
For newcomer questions you can come to us in the IRC channel #newcomers at
irc.gimp.org and also read our wiki where everything is explained
https://wiki.gnome.org/Newcomers and we will glad to help for any question you
might have.
To become maintainer you need to be used and comfortable with the code, so you
are able to review patches from other contributors, fixup nasty bugs, etc.
This is usually done contributing patches and receiving input and review from
the current maintainer if possible, and if not, other GNOME developers or we in
Newcomers can try to review the common things that are usually in every GNOME
project.
This is usually flexible, the current maintainer can point you in the right
direction.
Have a nice hacking!
Best regards,
Carlos Soriano

Thanks for your input , yes of course one would need to learn or know how to
code.
I'm willing to learn and study,read,practice , get better with it.
Everyone starts something new, they have to learn.
Life is a learning experience and sure knowing how to code before stepping into
being a maintainer is a plus. Though some can learn in many ways .
I'm willing and hopefully if allowed I can ask this mailing list questions if I
have problems or need help with some code.

if you want, you will be able to gain it ;)

Hello
Not sure if I'm getting above my head?
I have used Linux for many years. Started out on a Netcom Dial up Unix account.
Back when we had to compile programs and Kernals, etc.
I just wanna let you know I don't have deep experience in programming but I
could find my way around, etc.
Anyway I will email the person you said is the current person that is
maintaining the app and go from there.
Thanks for replying

Hi Dolan!
Nice to hear you'd like to maintain Gtranslator :)
Yo should first contact the current maintainer, Sean de Burca
([email protected]), to notice him you are interested in assuming the
maintenance of the tool, and he will inform you about any current work in
progress, status, etc.
Anyway, I could help you with some pending bugs that should be attended... this
might be a good way to have a first contact with gtranslator's source code.
Many thanks for taking care of this!
Regards

I might be out of my element. But I thought I would offer to
be a maintaner of one of the Gnome apps that is not currently mainted ?
such as Gtranslator ?
I might be wrong on the app name
