+alot of us have jobs and family and little time, even if you only maintain 
+your packages, that is fine. you can contribute and find a mentor no problem.
+
+on the mageia wiki page, there's some information on packaging and our 
+policies, and there's also a page for you to put your name to find a mentor.
+
+but, nothing stops you from already contributing if you don't have a mentor, 
+you can already file bug reports for new packages, and attach your spec files 
+for review. also, on #mageia-mentoring, you can always ask for questions on 
+policies or packaging, even if you don't have a mentor yet.
+
+also the meetings are public on IRC, and we have meeting logs, so if you want 
+to be up2date regarding the meetings, you can read the logs. i also advise you 
+to subscribe to the mageia-dev mailing list, since that one has sometimes 
+crucial info on packaging.
+
+good luck
