Kick-ass 1st post Jakob, and deja vu for me in a few ways too :)
Many, many open source teams/projects are looking for help outside the core codebase, typically things that will help with understanding the project and it's culture/goals/style/... and build your confidence to contribute too.
As with many things in life, having an itch to scratch gets me involved, and my occasional pull requests for others are usually a result of adding a feature I need, or fixing a bug that annoyed me. In all cases small changes that I'm prepared to be slated for! Sometimes someone else uses my fork and even gives me a star - that's a nice feeling :)

How do you find such teams / projects?
To begin with, I'd be very happy to find a project where I can properly set up my development environment and get to fix very minor bugs...
Would be interesting to see if there are some sort of "mentors", that could mentor someone like me to Kickstart contributing to projects by making sure the basics are well understood
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
