That was (and still is, except i don't have time these days) my situation, too.
But some while ago i learned that it is generelly not that difficult to get some
minor problems fixed. There are a lot lowhanging fruits here i think. And (maybe
i had luck) i got all my patches(execpt those that where duplicates) commited in
a short time. It's been much easier than i tought.
If something (not too big) annoys you, just check bugzilla and file a bug. And
if it isn't resolved in the next few days (maybe it's intentionally) try to fix
it.

just my 2 cents (Euro btw).
