You will need to convince a sponsor to sponsor you.

Many sponsors like to see you put together a package for review or
'pre' review existing packages in the review queue to show that you
know what you are doing.
Btw, several sponsors have been burnt by someone new wanting to take over
a single orphaned (or even deprecated) package, only to give up shortly
afterwards without any notification. :( So, a positive attitude in
general and not getting upset too easily by other changes in the dist is
a plus if you are serious about becoming a contributor.
