Hi Robert, Great to hear and thank you for offering to help out.
As we are in the final stages of a release some of us are quite busy concentrating on getting it out the door but when everything settles down again in a couple weeks it will be the perfect time to help bring on board new packagers. I'd be happy to help you find your feet in Mageia, but I'm afraid I won't be much use until after the final release is out! Either way, looking forward to welcoming a new packager.
