+the keypoint is that everyone who wants to be a packager (including mandriva 
+packagers) needs some training (mentoring), so, the best way is to subscribe 
+to the mailing-lists, note yourself on the packaging team on the wiki, and try 
+to find a mentor, if you're a mandriva packager, it should be a fast process 
+(ie: just the differences between mdv and mga), and perhaps you will be 
+available to mentor anyone else afterwards.
+
+AFAIK jq (jquelin) can still mentor someone. (there is a thread for that as 
+well).
+
+i will note that it is FOSDEM atm, and alot of devs and founders will be 
+there, so you might not get quick responses.
