I would go here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/query.cgi?format=advanced Then search Red Hat Enterprise Linux (5, 6 or 7), which is upstream for CentOS, pick some components you're interested in and see what there is. Find something you think you can help with and start poking around. If you think you have a patch or fix, post to the bug and see what people say. For CentOS specific bugs; https://bugs.centos.org/my_view_page.php Choose the project you're interested in from the drop-down list on the top-right of the page, click 'View Issues' and start seeing what grabs your interest.

I got the impression most of their bug fixes were done internally by employees, a large part of which consists of backporting fixes from upstream FOSS projects. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz
