 So it kind of depends what your areas of interest and expertise lie.
 Usually, people have an itch to scratch, or a particular problem to
 solve and they start discussing how they could address it.  For
 instance, some people would like to build images for a new board, or
 would like to build binaries for different optimizations, or an
 incompatible ABI, or would like to add a new feature to the toolchain
 etc.

 Perhaps you can check how we currently do things and see where it
 doesn't meet your expectations, then start attacking this problem?

 There are some ongoing projects for this cycle where additional hands
 could be useful, but these are not fully specified yet; e.g. we know
 some software fails to build with recent ARM toolchain configurations,
 or that some software doesn't cross-build, but it's not easy to point
 you at lists of such bugs right now.

   Hope this helps,
