It is actually very easy nowadays to contribute. Just fork the
packaging repo, do your changes, test and submit a merge request. Once
the change is approved, it will be part of the next upload, usually
within a few weeks.

If you do some improvements to the mariadb-10.3 packaging this week, I
can promise it will be in Debian unstable next week.
