Beware that that TODO list is poorly maintained, so items may be out
of date. Worse, most of what's there got there because it's hard,
or there's not consensus about what the feature should look like,
or both. So IMO it's not a great place for a beginner to start.

Yeah, this is a good way to get some exposure to our code base and
development practices.
