 I suggest you read the Developer's Reference and the Debian Policy
 (pacakges developers-reference and debian-policy repectively).
 Basically the steps are:

    * You check noone else is working on what you want to package
    * You submit an ITP, which I gather you already did
    * You package whatever it is you want to package
    * You upload the packages to the archive
    * You wait for it to be installed on the archive
    * You reply to/acknowledge bug reports and fix whatever there's to
      fix
    * Upload again, repeat and rinse.

 This assumes you can upload packages to the archive.  If that's not the
 case, you need to find an sponsor who can upload packages for you until
 you become a developer.
