There's about 400 of us. We call ourselves Debian developers.

Install and read 'developers-reference'. You might also want to install
and read 'debian-policy' and install 'dpkg-dev'. The latter contains
everything you'll need to build packages. While only developers can put
packages into the Debian archive anyone can build and distribute packages.

None that wouldn't apply to any method of packaging.
