I suggest to look at etc/TODO, and try to find there something that is
on the one hand minor and OTOH interests you enough to invest the
effort.  Then come back and ask about that task (or those tasks, if
there are more than one candidate); we will then tell if they are
important enough and provide more details if needed.

Welcome on board!
