Best thing that you, or anyone, can do right now is to check through
the bug list on SourceForge:
 - find a bug that interests you, or you feel should be fixed.
 - post here to say that you'd like to look into it and ask if
   anyone has more info or hints that aren't in the bug report.
 - investigate it to the point that you know the actual cause of
   the bug and can reproduce it at will, then document these facts
   in the bug reporting system (in case you get run down by a bus)
 - attempt to fix the code in as minimalist way as possible - there
   should be no changes to default behavior and as little chance of
   introducing instability as possible.  If this isn't possible then
   we are still interested, it's just the fix will go to the 1.5
   branch rather than into the 1.4 releases.
 - when you are happy with a fix, post here to say you have one and
   I'll post back with info on how we can get it into CVS.

Cheers
