Small fixes are welcome, too, just open a Launchpad bug for it so the 
patch can find it's way into the repo.

The public repo viewer is here: http://git.geda-project.org/pcb/

You could try to review bug fix branches like this one:

http://git.geda-project.org/pcb/commit/?h=LP1035979

See what it does, wether it solves the problem properly, then it can be 
cherry-picked onto master. For changes changing the way users work with 
pcb (GUI users as well as command line hackers) I usually write a short 
description to this list to see wether I've overseen use cases and to 
collect opinions about changes (if there are ones).

There's also a number of bug reports on Launchpad with patches attached. 
Reviewing them for committing them to the Git repo should be a good 
start to get an idea how the pcb stuff is coded. Compared to other open 
source projects it's pretty tidy.
