Developing policies isn't a good way to start learning SELinux. It is about
using, finding out in which logs files to find information, and what the log
entries tell you.
Understanding SELinux and its denials is needed before you can build
policies. Otherwise your policy will most likely not pass the mustard...
But I'm not going to stop you from contributing if you want ;-) On our
bugzilla, there is a requests for a policy for miniupnpd. But there are
probably other applications or services that we offer that still do not have
a proper policy with it (after all, we have about 230 policy modules whereas
there are several thousand packages in our tree...
