But not sure where to start from or which part of code to see...
Also can you suggest me some easier bugs to start with.
It will almost definitely be better to start with some easy bugs, which you can find as Mark indicated. While MM3 is still lacking better "big picture" documentation, I would recommend reading some of the docs at
http://packages.python.org/mailman/
Something like bug 1082495 will probably touch several parts of the system, so you'll want to familiarize yourself with the concept of queue runners, rule processing, pipeline handling, etc.
You might also be interested in this talk I gave at Pycon 2012.

and at this chapter in AOSA v2:

Hope that's a good start!

BTW, if someone would like to make a really valuable contribution to Mailman *while* they're learning a bit about the architecture, we could really use a written transcript of this talk. Barry's pycon talk is, as far as I know, the most comprehensive description of the current architecture and it's great, but it's not very accessible or searchable, so a transcript would be really appreciated.
Probably the best place for such a transcript would be the wiki. If you need write access, email me with your username, or just email the transcript to this list and we can stick it in the right place.

Hey Terri, i would really like to make a written transcript while i learn about the architecture. Writing them as soon as i learn would be much easier, for that i would require the write access to wiki.
I created my launchpad account with email id: sakuag333@gmail.com I am not sure which username are you talking about.
