The New Maintainer team will be re-opening shortly. In the meantime,
keep an eye on debian-devel-announce, start reading lists, look for
something useful to do, maybe help to correct some bugs, and possibly
take part in the sponsoring system (can't remember the URL to look at
offhand; check out the -devel-announce archives for the last several
months -- maybe it was last summer?). Read the policy and packaging
manuals, the developer's reference and of course the Debian Social
Contract and DFSG.
Good luck!
Julian
