First, thank you for offering to help!

Yes.   There is also a more specific list at http://savannah.gnu.org/people/.

That's a list of things that people need help with (some of the
entries may be out of date, sorry).  Of course, you will be the best
judge of which tasks best fit your skills.   I'd advise you to find
something that offers a good fit to the things you enjoy working on,
with a project whose code you use yourself.   That is, work to improve
programs you use yourself that are implemented with technologies
you're familiar with.
