Aside from a password reset, I'd recommend getting started by
contributing patches through the bug tracking system, or adopting some
orphaned packages, and getting some experience maintaining them. Ideally
finding some mentors to help you out, along the way.

We don't generally give people who are brand new to contributing to the
project commit access to hundreds of packages.
