1. Checkout gnome-games from CVS HEAD
2. Pick a game and edit the manual, f.i. mahjongg/help/C/mahjongg.xml
3. Submit a patch to bugzilla as was suggested, etc.

Not at all, for example I'm working only on apps that are not part of
GNOME since there are always volunteers for the core apps.

That's what I'm talking about ;-)

Do you really care about this?  Put youself as "author" and I guess
you can do for copyright as well, although the wisest thing to do is
to assign copyright to FSF.  If you are actually doing it for the
people, I think this is what every diligent contributor should do.

The license is GFDL 1.1.
