I'd suggest you start with patch reviews if you're interested in working
on the core PostgreSQL server code. Information on that is available
here:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Reviewing_a_Patch

Yeah, that's what I recommend people who ask me this question.
However, that wiki page is more about the process than about "what" to
do, so my advice to the OP would be to first go to the current CF [1]
and look for patches that would be genuinely useful for him/her (e.g.
because of work). And do the review by following the wiki page.

Yeah. There's also this:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Developer_FAQ
where the first topic is about getting involved in PG development, and
there's:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/So,_you_want_to_be_a_developer%3F
which covers a bit more about mailing lists and such.
Thanks,

Thank you for your valuable guidance.

On these mailing lists, we prefer that you reply 'in-line', as I'm doing
here, and not use 'top-posting' (as you did in your replies).

Great. Being familiar with SQL will certainly help.

Glad to hear that. Note that while we do intend to submit for GSoC
2022, there's no guarantee that we will be selected.
That said, this is a great way to get started. If you already have a
project idea in mind, I encourage you to post to this list what that
idea is and ask for feedback. If you don't have a project idea already
then you could review the project ideas page:
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GSoC_2022
Note that the current page lists projects from last year and will
continue to be updated between now and the GSoC 2022 organization
submission deadline. Still, hopefully reviewing the ones there will
give you some thoughts about what you might be interested in working on.
Thanks,
Stephen
