You can start by chatting with people on IRC (#xfce and #xfce4-dev or Freenode), that's where a lot of people start, or write reviews and blog entries, or you can take the ropes and maintain something. You can also act positive and motivate the Xfce developers crew. | What if you want to contribute but you don't know what?
