Boost consists of 120+ libraries. Look at the libraries, find one or 
more in which you are interested, understand the code for that library, 
and see if you are comfortable fixing bugs and helping to maintain that 
library.

Boost is short of library maintainers so if you find a library in which 
you are interested and that library needs an active maintainer, you 
could be a future maintainer of that library.

Needless to say if you have an idea or implementation for a high quality 
library you can also promote it on this mailing list.
