Please consider joining:

We seem to be building a 'Debian multimedia strike force' or something
like that here. Debian actually has a relatively small number of
multimedia/audio devs and it is necessary for non-DDs to take on a
considerable amount of the work. Debian-multimedia can effectively
co-maintain or sponsor NMUs, which I think is what we're doing with the
new version of Rosegarden4. It's early days yet. Debian-multimedia seems
to be a good meeting point for DeMuDi, UbuntuStudio and pure Debianites
to work from. There is some very interesting potential here and it would
be great to have you on board.
cheers,

I just want to add that I think there's room
and need for another layer
of support programmer/developer/code-maintainer to serve as a buffer and
conduit between users and upstream developers. As has been said, this is
often the distro maintainers' job. It's where I think I see myself
heading and is the role I'm currently playing at RFA. I don't think I'll
ever have the ability to keep on top of bleeding edge development the
way developers like Lee do. On the other hand I think (hope?) I have the
aptitude for, and certainly know I have the interest in, acquiring the
skills needed to help service that middle ground between the bleeding
edge and a stable end-user platform.
DeMuDi could most certainly use you in such a role.
