you can start from here: https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/

there are some python packages there (i imagine you want to focus on
those given you write to d-python@ )

General rule of thumb is: dont maintain packages just because of it,
maintain something you use and find useful; you'll be able to do a
better job, benefit from your maintenance work and provide a better
package to Debian's user

There's also this wonderful utility:

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/how-can-i-help

You can use it to easily find packages installed on your system
which are orphaned or in other similar states of help wanted, which
at least helps focus your efforts on packages you're more likely
using and relying on, rather than wading through a large list of
packages which are mostly orphaned because nobody's using them
anyway.

Hello!

I mentored Pablo to get his first upload to Debian. Pablo is new to
Debian packaging but a good and persistent learner. I warmly recommend
working with him if you have some newcomer friendly tasks to suggest!
