Correct!

A good way might be to look at the open bug list:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=cheese&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED

This should give you some ideas on where to focus your effort. You may 
also be interested in the proposed Cheese redesign:

https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Cheese

In more general terms, to begin developing with Cheese, you probably 
want to download and install jhbuild:

https://live.gnome.org/Jhbuild

Use it to build Cheese with:

jhbuild build cheese

This way, you can make changes to Cheese and test them, without 
affecting your regular system (and using the most recent dependencies).

I should be available to mentor a student this summer, so I would say 
"yes". Although I could draft a proposal, if you have a specific topic 
that you would like to contribute to, I think it would be best if you 
made the proposal, as it would then be more tailored to your idea. I am 
happy to give some guidance on the proposal.

Good luck!
