You're right, you won't step on anyone's toes.

I personally do think it's better to have effort being put in
packages/whatever that are either important or of specific interest to a given
contributor. By specifically directing efforts to exactly those packages that,
by definition, have nobody interested in them at the moment, I think you're
still spending time inefficiently: packages nobody is interested in tend to
ultimately get removed anyway, for example.
But yes, they can be a good practicing ground, and it's indeed hard to ask
someone to contribute something to an important package/bug, as a suiteable
opportunity for that doesn't always exist.
