Start at https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers@python.org/.
A couple of months' worth at first, then the last year or two.  First,
this question, and several other relevant questions, have been
answered recently.  Second, the archives provide background for
understanding the current focus of development.

Then, it's important that you test any changes you make, both with
unit tests and with a "live" installation.  It doesn't need to go over
the Internet -- just localhost is enough in most cases -- but you do
need a real MTA (Postfix and Exim are supported and recommended) and
later, for the Postorius and HyperKitty components, a WGSI-capable
webserver (all the usual suspects will work; the Django internal
testing server is not good enough).

Finally, for more hints on developing, you should look at
http://wiki.list.org/DEV/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015 (the 2016 version
is still under construction, but the generic hints you want are fully
developed in last year's version).

Happy hacking!

Steve
