Make sure you follow the packaging standards and read similar wiki pages 
(anything about packaging, standards, TU/developer pages). It would help 
to look at PKGBUILDs from the official repos to get an idea of the style 
that is used and standardise yours.

It would help to get involved upstream, improve the wiki, help on the 
forum etc. Get familiar with svn and use devtools to build your packages.
