I actually had read that (although it was non-trivial to reach).
However, this document assumes you already are a maintainer with access
to the repository and build systems. What I was interested in finding
was some documentation that told me, a newbie (even if I had had
permissions before), how to do a package update and submit it for review.
Or: just consider a regular user that has never contributed any new
package but wants to send an update for an existing one. What
information would be suitable to them?

Not sure. My account is marked as active and I have changed both my
password and SSH keys (yesterday).
