Done:

1.4) What do I do after choosing an item to work on?

Send an email to pgsql-hackers with a proposal for what you want to do
(assuming your contribution is not trivial). Working in isolation is not
advisable: others may be working on the same TODO item; you may have
misunderstood the TODO item; your approach may benefit from the review
of others.

A web site is maintained for patches that are ready to be applied,
http://momjian.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/pgpatches, and those that are
being kept for the next release,
http://momjian.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/pgpatches2.
