If one wants to help with Git development, where would they start?

The liquor store presumably? Just submitting patches is a simple 12 step process. I can't imagine the development and review process is any easier.

I have implemented a Git client from scratch which involved quite a bit of reading the Git source code. It's not bad code but it's definitely the sort of code that would break in all sorts of unexpected ways if you changed something. I wouldn't volunteer my time their tbh.
