The answer is basically "none". Once can maintain a package in Debian (as is: doing maintenance work, being responsible, and being in the Maintainer: control field) without any kind of special status. However, at some later point, you'll probably want to apply for the Debian Maintainer [1] or Debian Member [2] status and get upload rights. See [3] for disambiguation.
