I'll let Kovid Goyal answer your questions about bug management etc. But his comments in this thread Helping to Develop Calibre Core Software may be of interest. Kovid is the calibre king

Hey!
The fact that I made an account on this site yesterday doesn't mean that I have not been searching for a place to start for some time!

The Wish List has some interesting ideas.

Earlier I had a plan to develop a Windows 8 app for Calibre but I just saw that somebody was already working on it. Will talk to that guy to ask if he needs any help.

But after reading his conversation with Kovid, it doesn't seem so.

Just gotta keep exploring I guess, until I find something I would like to do. Atleast Kovid agrees with my approach!

That way, there is a much higher chance that you will stick around to maintain that code in the future. Otherwise, I will have to take over maintenance of it, and I hate maintaining other people's code
