Welcome to the community.
I'd suggest starting off by reading
http://libvirt.org/hacking.html and
http://libvirt.org/governance.html to get more of a feel for what
contributions involve.
Among other things, we prefer working in the open (keep the list in the
loop), which is why Daniel was right to redirect your 1-on-1 email back
to the list instead of answering you outright.
And if something didn't make sense, point it out - you aren't the only
new person, so we'd like to fix it to make it easier for the next reader!

Sure. There's plenty of bugs out there, but it may be easiest to start
with one that you can personally reproduce.
Just to give you a starting point:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASS...
Feel free to pick a random bug and try to fix it. If the bug you've
picked is not easy to fix, just repeat the process. BTW: when fixing a
tracked bug we find it very helpful to include the bug ID somewhere in
the commit message, so we can close the bug later.
