My advice would be to "scratch your own itch", i.e. find something you dislike about Git, and try to improve that. It's hard to find the motivation (and time) to contribute in a purely un-interested way, but once you start getting the benefits of your own patches in the way _you_ use Git, it's really rewarding !
