On the lines of what Albert suggested, this is what I did to get
involved (quite recent):

- Found a small improvement which I thought would be good to have.
- Read up http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started
- Dug the code, developed a small patch.
- Read http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute
- Submitted it to reviewboard marking the project maintainer.
- Had a discussion on it.
- He suggested a few changes, which I incorporated.
- And my patch was there in the repository. :)

After this, there is a lot to explore, a lot to learn, a lot to fix and
a lot to write! :)

Thanks Albert for the IRC channel, I didn't know about that.
