The best way to contribute is to work on packages that you use and the
best way to find opportunities for that is to install and run the
how-can-i-help package:

If you do not have a spare computer, the best option would be a
virtual machine, since you can then test newer versions of the whole
system. Some options for this include gnome-boxes or virt-manager.

Personally I'm using Debian testing and do package building in
pbuilder chroots of unstable.
