-When you know how you want to contribute to Debian GNU/Linux, you should get in
-contact with existing Debian maintainers who are working on similar tasks.
-That way, you can learn from experienced developers. For example, if you are
-interested in packaging existing software for Debian, you should try to get a
-sponsor. A sponsor will work together with you on your package and upload it
-to the Debian archive once they are happy with the packaging work you have
-done. You can find a sponsor by mailing the
-<email>debian-mentors@lists.debian.org</email> mailing list, describing your
-package and yourself and asking for a sponsor (see <xref linkend="sponsoring"/>
-and <ulink
-url="http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html"></ulink> for
-more information on sponsoring). On the other hand, if you are interested in
-porting Debian to alternative architectures or kernels you can subscribe to
-port specific mailing lists and ask there how to get started. Finally, if you
-are interested in documentation or Quality Assurance (QA) work you can join
-maintainers already working on these tasks and submit patches and improvements.
