Thank you for your interest in contributing to libvirt! #11 is an good ticket to tackle, because it doesn't matter how much or little you do. It has been an ongoing effort people have written patches for over months now. We're just taking the conversion a file at a time. It is not especially interesting work, but an easy way to get started sending patches. #16 should be reasonably straightforward to do too, as it is just a small amount of work in virsh client tool and fairly well self contained. It is hard to say what #4 will involve, as I don't understand the root cause problem there really, and so can't guess how much work it will involve to fix. Feel free to discuss this issue in more detail on this list or in the issue tracker, as needed. There's plenty of other reasonably small pieces of work that are tagged with "bitesizedtask" in the issue tracker if you want to consider more options as you go.
