I think the descrition on:
http://www.debian.org/support
is ok.

It is very much work to get involved in maintainership but
that should be a guarantee of good quality.

Yes. Just subscribe to the mailing list of projects in which
you are interrested and just talk to other people.
Maybe ask them if they need help.

Its not exactly someone but e.g. for maintainer stuff there
is the debian-mentors list.
