Have a look at the New Maintainers' Guide at http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ and the Debian Mentors FAQ at http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html If your package is ready you will need a sponsor who is a Debian Developer. Probably it's best to ask someone you know and is familiar with Big5. You can also seek a sponsor on the debian-mentors mailinglist.
