Hello,
        the steps are:

 1- create a PERSON object. Since you don't have a MNTNER object yet,
   don't put anything in the mnt-by field.

 2- create a MNTNER object. The name you'll choose will be the same you'll use
   for the mnt-by field (you're creating a self-maintained MNTNER object).
   You will receive a warning message (that looks more like an error message)
   saying your request will be handled manually.

 3- wait for an email saying your MNTNER object has been created (that can take
   several hours)

 4- now that you have a MNTER object,  edit your PERSON object 
   (created in the first step) and fill out the mnt-by attribute using
   MNTNER object  created in step #2

ps: a web form will simplify those steps in the near future.
