Well, this question seems a bit weird.  There is no authory, which
decides who is allowed to contribute to the project and who is not
allowed to[0].  This is a Free Software project - we all can help by
contributing.  Try to get an overview of the project and the tasks,
which have to be done.  Then you can simply start hacking on something
which seems interesting or important to you.  This way you can help
the Hurd project.  And if you have difficulties understanding some
parts of the code, just ask on help-hurd.

Get an overview of the Hurd, read documentation[1], have fun, start
working.

Well, this is bug-hurd, which is mainly intended for discussing
problems and improvements in the Hurd.  There is also help-hurd for
more general help, and some other Hurd related mailinglists[2].

    persons, but of course you can send patches to this mailinglist.
