That depends on your qualifications, but you do not need to explain those. In OpenBSD in general, which OpenSSH is a sub-project of, you contribute by sending patches, and if there is consensus that a particular patch is useful, correct, and has no relevant downsides, developers will commit it when they find the time. Note that contributing meaningful patches to OpenSSH is probably more difficult than contributing to other parts of OpenBSD, not least because working with cryptography always requires being particularly careful. Figuring out yourself what you are interested in and what you are capable of is part of the required qualifications. One way to get started is reporting bugs in the code and documentation that you notice in your own usage, and trying to develop patches to fix those bugs. Be sure to read: https://www.openssh.com/report.html > Or any other open items which could be picked in order to contribute > to this project. All the above said, feel free to look at http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Portable%20OpenSSH But note that triaging bug reports is not necessarily the easiest nor the most rewarding task for beginners. Also note that the above bugtracker may have a bias towards portability issues and towards features that only exist in the portable version, whereas issues that affect all operating systems alike and are hence arguably more important are less likely to end up in the bugtracker or stay there for long. In general, in the OpenBSD project, most developers do not consider maintaining todo lists a priority.
