Long:
Part of the succes of libre software are self motivated people.
So don't wait for orders what to do, just start.

For the "Where to start?" are many options, one is the program
named `how-can-i-help` from package with the same name.

|$ apt show !$ 2>/dev/null | sed --silent '/^Description/,$p'
|apt show how-can-i-help 2>/dev/null | sed --silent '/^Description/,$p'
|Description: show opportunities for contributing to Debian
| how-can-i-help hooks into APT to list opportunities for contributions to
| Debian (orphaned packages, bugs tagged 'newcomer') for packages installed
| locally, after each APT invocation. It can also be invoked directly, and
| then lists all opportunities for contribution (not just the new ones).
