How I got in (part of current process):
Step 1: Saw https://twitter.com/CatherineOmega/status/388037250896121856
Step 2: Created https://drupal.org/node/2108697
Step 3: Fixed by chx at https://drupal.org/comment/8140997#comment-8140997
Step 4: Found podarok shares my interests. So made as co-maintainer.
Step 5: We made a minor release (with 20+ fixes) in Dec 2013 - https://drupal.org/node/2161141
Step 6: Finally created http://www.drupaldate.org/ to make our scrum team run like other agile team :)
What can be improved:
1. Would be great to have a place where easily go through list of largly used modules that don't have/need maintainers - we can name it as 'Drupal.org vacancy list' :)
2. One-click application processing - By number of issues contributed by a user to a project (that needs maintainer), we can have a block 'Would you like to help maintain project XYZ? Click here'
3. Automated application processing system.
4. Also would be great to have list of active modules - recent releases + active issue list = trusted or highly supported module (or module with lots of bugs, depending on issues getting burned).
