    Excellent, thanks for your interest!

    Debian has a lot of different QA related tools and services you could work on:

    https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org

    Probably the highest impact one is lintian, a tool for checking Debian
    packages for issues, this is written in Perl.

    https://lintian.debian.org/
    https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian
    https://bugs.debian.org/src:lintian

    After that, the Debian Package Tracker is a service for packaging
    contributors to view information about individual packages, this is
    written in Python and uses the Django framework.

    https://tracker.debian.org/

    There are lots of other ways to help Debian, some of them are listed here:

    https://www.debian.org/intro/help
    https://wiki.debian.org/how-can-i-help

    Is there someone willing to mentor me?

    The way mentoring in Debian usually works is that when you have a
    question, you ask it publicly on the appropriate IRC channel or
    mailing list for what you are working on, and anyone who knows the
    answer or has some ideas will reply.

    I have been using GNU/Linux for 22 years, so I shouldn't be too much trouble. :-)

    Great. If you want to share some more info about your skills and
    interests, both within Debian and within the wider world, we might be
    able to recommend some more specific things you could work on.
