thanks for your interest :)

you already started helping with this email :)

>Do you have any other advice for something like me, I already have read a lot of doc but I am quite lost for now, without any contact to help except this mail lists >(maybe it would be good to go on irc?).


https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers

here you can find some tips, and this list is the right place to ask if you have specific questions.

Note: this particular package has an RC bug (Fails To Build From Source), so you should start by fixing that one, because otherwise
you won't be able to build it :)

cheers,
