I'd love it if more people wanted to contribute to the git-scm repository. I think one can probably find some low-hanging fruit by looking at the open issues list (though I'd be happy, too, if people with bug or feature suggestions opened new issues).

Here are a couple small-to-moderate bugs that have been languishing:

  https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/701

  https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/987

  https://github.com/git/git-scm.com/issues/994
