Although the Github tags aren't always kept up to date, this link 
might be useful when looking for patches that need review:

Well, the ones that don't have any review might benefit more from 
you looking over it, but people often miss things; the more 
review the merrier. Please comment whenever you feel you have 
something to add!

Equally for your own patches, if you feel you have something to 
add, whether a bug fix, documentation improvement or new 
functionality, please send a PR :)
