I would very much like to contribute to the kernel, but I really don't know where to start, and I really don't know anyone in the kernel dev community.
If there were a TODO file that listed small bugs or nits I could fix to get started, I would do so. But so far, the TODO lists I've found are out of date.
Perhaps I should start a linux-kernel stackexchange?

Surely there is some part that interests you. Some feature you'd like to have? That's more likely to work that waiting for something that you don't find interesting.

I agree; investigating bugs is a great way to learn how stuff works.
