In this case you will have to create a GitHub account.  Without one
you will not be able to send a pull request.

Which one of these you like most?  There are already on-going
discussions on both of these topics (for example, [0] and [1], but
there are more), you may find looking at them useful.

If you are asking whether now is the right time to write the patch,
then the answer is "Yes, sure".

A lot depends on the task you choose.  Neither of the tasks you list
requires knowledge in physics; parsing does not require mathematical
knowledge, but you need to have the proper background in parsers.

Are you subscribed to SymPy Google Group?  If not, you should
definitely do that.
