alot of us have jobs and family and little time, even if you only maintain your packages, that is fine. you can contribute and find a mentor no problem. on the mageia wiki page, there's some information on packaging and our policies, and there's also a page for you to put your name to find a mentor. but, nothing stops you from already contributing if you don't have a mentor, you can already file bug reports for new packages, and attach your spec files for review. also, on #mageia-mentoring, you can always ask for questions on policies or packaging, even if you don't have a mentor yet. also the meetings are public on IRC, and we have meeting logs, so if you want to be up2date regarding the meetings, you can read the logs. i also advise you to subscribe to the mageia-dev mailing list, since that one has sometimes crucial info on packaging. good luck
