Hey Nathanael, wonderful to hear from you! If you've not seen it, check 
out the Roles page on the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Roles. It 
will help guide you on activities available to you depending on your 
interest.

Alberto gave you some great advice on patches, I would recommend what he 
said and also point out harvest; http://harvest.ubuntu.com.

BTW Alberto, I liked the live graphs on the wiki, nice touch!
