Check the PTS page and click all the links there, looking for issues.
If appropriate, check for a screenshot on screenshots.d.n and upload
one if there isn't one.
Audit the debtags on debtags.alioth.d.o and add/remove tags as appropriate.
Join the upstream development team.
Run 'whohas packagename' to find out which distributions have the
software in them. Then look at their bugs, patches and so on. For
Ubuntu you can just look at the PTS page links.
