That's excellent advice.  Maybe some bug in there sounds interesting.
Also, you could review some of the submitted patches in areas you
find interesting (leading you to the mystical 5 reviews that help
get your patches reviewed).  It is a slightly gentle introduction
to the process, and reviewing a patch can be thought of a getting
a mini guided tour.
