First, you're assuming that there exists amongst the OpenBSD
developers a desire ``to encourage people to enter the development
cycle.'' I kinda doubt that that's the case. More developers often
isn't a good thing; see ``The Mythical Man-Month'' for a popular
treament of the problem.
But, if you're serious, one good way would be to follow the
changes made to the code -- after all, that's the whole point of a
public CVS repository. When you find something that you can point
to and say, ``I know why so-and-so did that,'' then you can go
looking for other things that would benefit from the same
treatment.
And if you don't understand why the changes are being made, you
need to improve your coding skills to the point that you do.
