Same from me, Just take a glance through the open ticket lists:
Needs a patch:
http://trac.wordpress.org/report/13

Needs Testing:
http://trac.wordpress.org/report/16

Pick something that looks like something you could have a go at, and give it a go, Make sure to read the comments on the ticket, If it looks over your head, then move along to the next.
But quite a lot of them have simply fixes if you're looking for the issue, Once you get stuck into it, you can generally drill the error down to a single function or two, You might not be able to fix the problem, But reporting back where you think the issue might be can be great help to others too.
