Welcome! Do you have any familiarity with using Octave? In the Octave wiki
under
https://wiki.octave.org/Summer_of_Code_-_Getting_Started#What_you_should_know_about_Octave
there are links (admittedly poorly identified) regarding development and
how to clone the source code using Mercurial. There are some links to
developer guidelines as well.  We use the savannah bug tracker for
discussing and submitting specific code patches, as discussed in some of
those links.  Some ways to get started contributing can be finding an
outstanding bug and giving it a try to find a solution.  Recommend posting
a comment to an existing bug so people know you're working on it, since we
don't explicitly assign bugs for people to work on.

Let us know if you have trouble working with the code. Also, there is a
discussion forum in addition to this mailing list at
https://octave.discourse.group/
