I would suggest going to the Debian website (http://www.debian.org/), going to the "Developer" section and reading the page on "How can I help?" (or something like that). The new maintainer scheme is currently just getting off the ground, and should be up and running soon. In the meantime, you might want to ensure that: - you are reading the debian-devel-announce list - you have read and understood the social contract (in /usr/(share/)doc/debian/social-contract.txt) - you have read the latest version of the policy (in the debian-policy) package - your package doesn't give any lintian errors and preferably no warnings either Good luck!
