I might be interesting to learn _how_ they started to contribute / got their first package uploaded. Draft: Qn: How did you learn to create your first package (e.g. by reading Lucas' packaging guide, by starting at a teams wiki page, ...) and how did you get it uploaded (e.g. by joinig a team, by mailing debian-mentors, ...)?
