The best approach is to take a look at bugs.gentoo.org.  Both actual
bugs and enhancement requests are there, and there are far more bugs
than the developers assigned to them actually have time to fix.  If you
can figure out how to "fix" something, just add your fix to the bug
report.  (As a courtesy, you probably want to contact the dev 
assigned to the bug and make the dev isn't actively in the process 
of fixing it.)

Please do submit them!  http://www.gentoo.org/doc/ebuild-submit.html

Helping people in #gentoo (and on gentoo-user@g.o) is also a 
great help.  Thanks!  I know that there is FAQ maintainance to be done,
but I'm not quite sure how that's being worked out right now.
