Great, please take a look at this page for an intro to how that goes:

No need to be nervous, we are a friendly bunch :)

In general new packages enter Debian unstable so they should be built
and tested there. Once they have automatically migrated to testing
(currently called stretch), then after a rebuild and some more testing
they can be uploaded to stable-backports (currently called
jessie-backports).

In general Debian binary packages from the Debian archive are expected
to be automatically built using dpkg-buildpackage, which calls
debian/rules (a Makefile) rather than custom scripts.

These are binary packages, Debian mentors need source packages to
review. In addition, source packages are often required for license
compliance.
