If you are interested you just have to read the guidelines and submit a 
draft package for review. Other more experienced packages will review 
and provide feedback. Listen and adopt the package according to that and 
you should be get the package into the repository in a short time. What 
this requires is interest and some amount of time doing maintenance work 
like responding to bug reports and keeping the package updated.
