Levieux,

It is normal to doubt your abilities. I still doubt my abilities after many 
years of contributing to Go. In my view, from what you told about yourself, 
you should have plenty of experience to contribute to the project. Pretty 
much everything in Go project is written in Go. So, if you used Go before, 
you should be able to understand everything there. There is, probably, a 
lot of code there, so it might look scary for someone who starts from 
nothing. But there are many other contributors who will be able to point 
you to the right package / source file, if you ask for help.

The most important, in my view, is that you enjoy the process. That will 
make everything easy for you.

As others already said, you should 
read https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html to see how to start. It is also 
good idea to start with a small change - this will allow you to concentrate 
on the process of submission. So maybe find misspelled word or bad grammar, 
and send small change. Go tree is currently closed, until some time in 
August - https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Go-Release-Cycle but maybe your 
change will be allowed to be submitted. After that, just pick an issue from 
http://golang.org/issues that interests you, and try fix it. Feel free to 
discuss your approach on the issue before you start. Ask for help there, if 
you need help.

Good luck.

Alex
