Yeah, that's what I recommend people who ask me this question.

However, that wiki page is more about the process than about "what" to
do, so my advice to the OP would be to first go to the current CF [1]
and look for patches that would be genuinely useful for him/her (e.g.
because of work). And do the review by following the wiki page.
