If you want to get a feeling for the inner workings of the Debian project,
you should at least subscribe to the debian-devel-announce and debian-news

recent discussions from Debian related maillists and blogs and provides
links to them.

As a prospective developer, you should also subscribe to debian-mentors,

people who are new to the Project and want to help with something else
