That's only one of three possible ways to become a packager. I think the "becoming a co-maintainer" path is the most approachable:
In theory, yes... But you still need to find a package whose maintainers are willing to accept new co-maintainers and I have observed that some package maintainers are.. territorial. The difficult part for this path is that in order to meaningfully demonstrate competence as a co-maintainer, you really have to suggest some sort of *change*, and package maintainers often like their package the way it is. So this path can be harder than it should be, or harder than it seems.
And that issue aside, we're still asking contributors who might be interested in maintaining flatpaks to demonstrate a skill set that is not "maintaining flatpaks." Which is one possible reason that so few people are participating in flatpak maintenance.
