Hello,
I have never done any development in Debian before, and I would like to contribute a single program. How should I go about this?
I have already looked through the Debian website and found things like these:
"The first important point to make is that you do not need to be an official Debian developer in order to help improving Debian. In fact, you should already have a track record of earlier contributions to Debian before you apply for the New Maintainer process."
"As a non-developer you can:
- maintain packages through a sponsor"
Great. How?
Thanks,
John
