What's IMO most pressing for Debian as a project right now is to move
forward with the upcoming release. You could check:

	http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/

and especially

	http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_excuses.html

to see what packages are important for debian (the ones in the "base"
section are the most important of course) and help the respective
maintainers. Often the maintainers have a lot to do and have trouble to
keep up with the bugreports flowing back in.

And there's the team that is developping the boot-floppies, which
represents a crucial part of a new release, that is constantly calling for
help. I'm sure you could work with them while becoming a maintainer. Check
the archive for a recent call for help from Adam Di Carlo.
