There's a reasonably active Mentors mailing list that might be of interest:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/
It's very busy with bug chatter right now. The last week or so is
probably about the busiest I've ever seen them.
The following is one place they suggest when newcomers inquire:
https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers/
Maybe some of where that points to will be of interest, too.
Have fun!
