Either:
1. By picking up an issue that you have a vested interest in seeing fixed.
2. Feel free to look at the list of regressons.
https://issues.dlang.org/buglist.cgi?bug_severity=regression&component=dmd&list_id=218477&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
Bigger projects or features are delegated between the core
maintainers, or if a champion comes to take the reigns, then they have
the freedom to go ahead. For everything else, it is pretty much a
free-for-all in terms of what you want to get fixed. Almost nobody is
being paid to contribute to the language here.
