I want to contribute as a Ubuntu developer, and help out Ubuntu in any way I can, but don't really know where to register as a Ubuntu developer, or what the requirements/steps for being an Ubuntu developer are.

How would I register to become a Ubuntu developer?

Also, when I have registered myself, how do I upload packages?

If your motivation is only the free Valve games, that is not a quality they are looking for in developers.

In any case, the steps to become an Ubuntu developer are detailed on the ubuntu website.

Becoming a Ubuntu Developer entails interacting with the Ubuntu Community and Members, working in the specific area you are interested, then applying to the Ubuntu Developer Membership Board.

A good starting point for package publication is to create a personal package archive and publish packages to it.

The most updated page that describes the different ways to contribute to Ubuntu is UbuntuDevelopers.

You don't just register and start uploading. You typically start by preparing patches / merge proposals that developers review and upload. That way you gain the necessary experience to apply later on for some type of right to upload by yourself.
