You  don't need permission to work on open source projects. You can make
pull requests, review others' pull requests, post to the list and
participate in discussions, or look over the bug reports on trac and see if
there are any you can fix. There is always a lack of developers so anyone
who does work is welcome. But the work is voluntary and a person's interest
is measured by their participation. You have made the first step by
posting, so don't be shy, but don't expect a formal induction into the
'club', just start doing things. If you need more specific pointers to
things to do, perhaps someone here can offer some suggestions.
