The best way is you to start proposing patches for the bugs and then
start proposing the diffs need to update the packages for lastest
versions. This would people start to look at your work and help giving
tips about better ways of doing things.

After this, you can end added on pkg-gnome project and start to commit
the changes yourself and just ask people to sponsor the uploads.

IMHO, this is the best way to start. I offer help to review your
proposed patches before them being send and giving hints about how to
make things too.
