Hello Michael, I am new to Debian, but my understanding of the role of maintainer is that you do not necessarily need to be able to patch the product the package you are maintaining contains, but know the package, and how it fits in to Debian. The more you know about the product, the program's status and issues, and the better off your relationship is with the developers of that product, the better off the package is likely to be.
