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.

Hope that's a good start!
