As well as maintaining Python packages, lots of Debian services are
written in Python:

https://wiki.debian.org/Services

and there are other ways to help besides Python packaging/coding:

You may consider joining the team [1] and start contributing towards
existing packages in need for maintenance [2], such as those with test
failures or RC bugs.

Greetings everyone!,

I have been using debian for a while now and I am a point where I want 
to help and start contributing to debian itself. I read the web page 
about contributing and I took away that I should just jump right in, and 
I specifically jumped here because I do know how write python scripts. I 
am new at this but I'm a quick learner so please let me know if I can 
help out in anyway, thanks!.
