There are a lot of useful things to do in the Linux kernel community
besides writing patches.

One of the useful things you could do is simply run linux-next on your
system, and update whenever new linux-next code comes out. If it breaks
(which it sometimes does), you can write a bug report, and learn from
the resulting email thread what caused the problem.

Debugging is a much better way to learn development than developing
new patches from scratch "just because"...
