Hi Hyun, What's your idea / area of interest? You can open a discussion on this list or look for relevant packages and get involved with issues, features and roadmaps – package maintainers will be involved in the discussion and many will be willing to mentor as well.
If you're working fairly independently and have a solid proposal, a mentor isn't a strict requirement – you can apply without one. But especially for projects outside of our range of expertise, it's a big help for us to see someone endorse your idea.
