You could start off fixing druntime or phobos bugs. Those are usually 
easier to fix and "only" require konwdelge of the D language and its 
inner workings. If you feel familiar with druntime to a certain degeree 
you can pick some dmd bugs that seem easy to you and try to find them. 
Usually its a lot easier to hack dmd then you would expect. Compilers 
are just software too.

If you don't want to contribute to the language directly you could also 
write a library or create bindings for existing libraries and add it to 
code.dlang.org

Also always helpfull is, if you find a bug, create a repro case for it 
(take a look at dustmite) and submit that the the D bugtracker. A good 
bug report helps a lot.
