Hi Muhammad, It's great you're expressing your interest in Debian and Free Software!
Apart from what others have told you here: One thing you could do when starting exploring your way into contributing more to Debian and Free Sofware is creating an OpenPGP key. (I assume you don't have such a keypair yet?) You'd need such a key if you at one point would like to register at https://nm.debian.org/ . You can read about that at https://book.sequoia-pgp.org/ and at https://help.riseup.net/en/security/message-security/openpgp/best-practices .
