Getting started with contributing

Hey all,
I am new to Open Source Development and would love to be a part of the NMAP
Development Community. Could anyone mind sharing the basic skill set I
would require to start contributing?. (I'm reading the nmap network
scanning to get a basic idea about nmap)

Also, it would be a huge help if anyone could help me figure out a
relatively easy low /medium priority issue to work on.

Thanks!
