One of the smoothest paths to improving Debian and becoming a
contributing maintainer is to choose a Debian package that you use
yourself, and begin fixing some of its bugs in the bug tracking system
<URL:http://bugs.debian.org/>.

This will be of direct benefit and, since you will be working with the
existing maintainers, will also start to teach you about how Debian
packages are maintained collaboratively.
