Welcome Gudge, and thanks for wanting to contribute. We're a fairly open
organisation, so you don't need anyone's permission to start
contributing: just add your comments or your patch to the issue you want
to work on.

The core-mentorship mailing list might be of use to you: it is
specifically aimed at people wanting help with contributing to Python.
It has special conditions to make it more friendly to people who might
be shy of looking foolish on a public mailing list. Feel free to subscribe:

  https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/core-mentorship

(see also http://pythonmentors.com/ which acts as a landing page for the
list)

Good luck

TJG
