One of the first places to check out:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#I_want_to_help_Debian._Tell_me_what_I_can_do.
Also, you seem to have some idea what you want to do, so the WNPP page
is a good place to continue:
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/
which gives info on what packages are availible for adaption, and what
packages are being worked on or if some interesting package has been
abandoned.
Other places where interesting info can be found are:
http://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint
http://www.debian.org/devel/join/
and the mailinglist:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/
best regards
