the keypoint is that everyone who wants to be a packager (including mandriva packagers) needs some training (mentoring), so, the best way is to subscribe to the mailing-lists, note yourself on the packaging team on the wiki, and try to find a mentor, if you're a mandriva packager, it should be a fast process (ie: just the differences between mdv and mga), and perhaps you will be available to mentor anyone else afterwards. AFAIK jq (jquelin) can still mentor someone. (there is a thread for that as well). i will note that it is FOSDEM atm, and alot of devs and founders will be there, so you might not get quick responses.
