You could start from reading the FAQ at http://www.boost.org/users/faq.html:

How can I contribute to development?
To participate in development, you need to subscribe to the Boost developers' 
list. Once you've done that, some paths to contribution are:

     Submit patches for new features or bug fixes. Pick any ticket from our bug 
tracking system and get started. If existing library maintainers don't already 
know your work, this is a good way to become known as someone they can trust to 
do good work.
     Become part of a particular library's community, and become known to the 
library maintainer(s) by participating in design discussions (some libraries, 
e.g. Spirit, have their own mailing lists where you'd do that).
     Come up with a library idea of your own and begin the library submission 
process.
