Are we going to have some formal start of project emails on the list? how would i know which areas require contribution from volunteers?
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,
