As Anibal explained in another email, I believe you could start by
uploading your work on kwstyle and vera++ on debian-mentors. People
will have a better grasp at your technical skills.

As said before, please try uploading your current packages on
debian-mentors. It only takes a few steps to register an account and
start uploading. From there is the sponsorship is much easier.
