Absolutely as a community we are very open and welcome to new contributions. To help you get started will urge you to look at http://apache.org/foundation/getinvolved.html for broad guidelines on how to get involved with any apache project and more specifically https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FALCON/How+To+Contribute on how you can contribute to Falcon.
Hope that helps. Should you need further info, please do feel free to write back to the dev list.
