Start by learning how to use the system. then start reading
source code and posting small diffs of your suggestions to change it.
When you post a diff, be sure to keep the diff small,
succinct, and solving one "issue" at a time.
Do not be disappointed if the developers do not agree
with your diff or your issue - as a newbie you will probably
not get it right the first, or even the seventh time.
repeat this process until someone takes you under their
wing and sponsors you for real commit access.
