Excellent.

Most of our apps have their own project space on fedorahosted.org. The
big ones: 

bodhi (updates manager app)
pkgdb (package database)
fas (fedora account system)
koji (build system)
smolt (stats gathering package/database)
mirrormanager (manages mirrors users get and much more)
elections (simple voting app)
community (community information app)

Well, depends on which part you mean... we use kickstart and puppet and
such to automate a lot of things. ;)

For the devel/apps side, look over the above and then specific folks
are likely better than others depending on what app you want to work
on. For general sysadmin stuff hang out in #fedora-admin/#fedora-noc
and someone can assist in sponsoring you. 

Hope that helps.
