I am of course unfamiliar with the whole wine source code. I did look over the rather daunting to-do list and wouldn't even know where to start. =)
I would suggest starting by doing a couple weeks of bug triage. See http://kegel.com/wine/qa/ Then, while still doing bug triage, start writing conformance tests to expose some of the bugs you're seeing. Getting conformance tests committed to the WineHQ tree is a good rite of passage :-) Then, once you have the hang of that, pick one of the bugs you've written a good conformance test for, and try to fix it. Have fun & stay in touch! - Dan
