As a very new contributor to Debian as part of the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) '25 program I can only second Andreas' point. Packages / package teams who are willing/have the bandwith to mentor newcomers are most certainly a great starting point for newbies. Is there an easy way to find those mentorship opportunities in Debian (outside of dedicated programs like GSoC)? IMHO these should be "advertised" to newcomers.
