My suggestion is the following:

Currently, there are a lot of bug reports at KDE's Bugzilla
(http://bugs.kde.org) with patches attached (there's a link to these
reports on Bugzilla's front page). For the application maintainers, it
is sometimes difficult to test these patches, some of them will require
small adaptations before being usable, some might solve the problem but
in a non-optimal way, etc. As a result, some patches are simply
forgotten. Since you would like something related to programming, you
might be interested in becoming a "patch tester", i. e., go through all
those bug reports and test the patches attached to them (and maybe make
small fixes on these patches) and remind the application maintainers
about them.

Please let me know if you need any more information on this.

Thank you!
