Hello Benjamin and welcome to Fedora!
If you want to become a packager, the way I've done it is by sending a
message to the owner of a package you use yourself and love using see if
he could take you in as a co-packager and sponsor you.
I would also get involved by subbing to the devel and packaging mailing
lists.
But yeah that's how I would start if I were you.
