One of the best ways to start IMHO, is to get one of these packages[1] (don't get the old ones, as they're probably harder to work on) and prepare a QA upload fixing easy things, like: DH bump Standards Version bump Fix/bump d/watch Convert d/copyright to DEP-5 Change maintainer to QA Group Fix typos wrap-and-sort a Package new release ACK bugs with patch attached (eg.: the reproducible-builds team is always opening bugs with patch attached, and BTW they're awesome)
The QA upload can be sponsored by any DD, and you can ask sponsorhip ont mentors.
