A couple of thoughts:

(1) There's an "ideas list" at https://wiki.freebsd.org/IdeasPage and
links to some other things as well, if you are just wanting potential
topics to work on

(2) You might try to join an IRC channel or two to get a sense for what is
going on and get to know some other developers.  #bsdcode or #bsddev on
EFnet come to mind, but see also https://wiki.freebsd.org/IrcChannels
