An excellent contribution is to help out people on this list and in the 
forums. A lot of them are in the same position you were recently and 
they appreciate the help you can give them just as much as you did.

Don't feel that just because you are a mere foot soldier in the trenches 
that you can't make a difference. 1000 such foot soldiers make a pretty 
formidable force to move forward with!

Regardless of what the future holds for Gentoo it will always need 
users, users willing to help other users, and people willing to improve 
the product. It simply doesn't make much sense for the community at 
large to pay exclusive attention to the management woes and neglect the 
distro itself.

Here's some stuff that needs done (might be a tad out of date though):
