In addition to what Christian suggested, the most valuable short-term
contribution would be to look into open bug reports, and propose fixes
for them. In particular, the Parser/Compiler, and "Python Interpreter
Core" bug categories might attract you (there are 4 bugs in the
former, and about 40 in the latter category). Many of these issues are
still open because they are really tricky, so expect some of these to
be middle-sized projects on their own.
