You can indeed, in the documentation if not the code. I've 
submitted PRs every so often related to documentation and unit 
tests. It's not that hard. You can go through old issues and do 
things like reproduce the bug or confirm that it's no longer 
relevant.

Those are typically bigger PRs. When I submit small things like 
documentation or an update to a unit test, they're merged within 
a day or a few days at the most.
