We, my team and me, are actually looking into some newbie tasks in the
area of memory management. It is just not focussed on extending the
existing implementation, but rather on updating old documentation,
understanding and improving tests, and other activities around the
memory management system.

If that is of interest for you, let me know off-list and we can
discuss details and a good task to get started. Certainly, memory
management is quite involved, so you would need to stick longer to
this task to show dome results to the community. There are no obvious
easy quick wins, but checking and updating documentation to the
current way the kernel works (and adding a test for that and using
ftrace to see roughly what happens) could be a nice contribution in
this area.
