Pick up something that I keep telling myself I'll do more of, and
never seem to do a significant amount of: read through
http://bugs.python.org/ and confirm the unconfirmed, or check that
patches are working correctly, or add patches to things that
definitely need them. Even if you don't know C, there are plenty of
places where you could do that; large slabs of the standard library
are written in Python, and the docs are in a straight-forward markup
language, so docs patches basically just require knowledge of English.
