All this to say, I'd like to see if I can help out

project itself, though I don't have a specific wiki that I work on or a
specific bot that I'd like to write.
Amir already gave some excellent pointers; there are two more things I'd
like to mention:
- the documentation could be improved in many aspects. Help in that area
is always much appreciated.
- some bugs are marked as 'easy' - those should be fixable by people that
do not know the code base in detail. Those are currently the following
bugs:

I've gotten as far as installing a vagrant
instance of Media Wiki and
cloning the "core" branch of pywikibot, though I haven't gotten them
talking to each other just yet.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Use_on_third-party_wikis
has notes on that, but most of them are outdated (see my previous point on
documentation ;-)). Using generate_family_file.py should get you there.
