If you haven’t already, I would recommend you read some of the documentation listed at: https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/ > I’m committed, willing to put in the time, and genuinely excited about > joining a community that has already given me so much.

If you need a place to look you can check out the following lists: https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/rfh https://wnpp.debian.net/ -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
