Hi and welcome to the Boost comunity

The open source Boost library is in someway particular as it is seen as 
a collection of libraries maintained by different authors. Anyone can 
become the author of a library, after a successful review of the 
proposed library.

I suggest you to participate in this and the user mailing lists giving 
your advice when you consider is pertinent.
Read as much as possible in http://www.boost.org/ and in particular

http://www.boost.org/development/submissions.html
http://www.boost.org/development/bugs.html
http://www.boost.org/development/pull_requests.php
http://www.boost.org/development/testing.html

if you want to contribute.

You can find other useful link at the wiki 
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki
