There are lots of different ways to contribute to Debian, some of them
are listed here:

https://www.debian.org/intro/help

A great way to start contributing is to look at the packages you have
installed that are in need of help, using the how-can-i-help tool. The
maint-guide document is our canonical introduction to maintaining
packages.

Most of the time, mentoring within Debian happens in public, folks ask
questions either on the #debian-mentors IRC channel or debian-mentors
mailing list and whoever knows the answer will reply.

In addition there are some one-on-one mentoring programs:
