For a working dev who occasionally uses OpenBSD, is passionate about the project & its goals and wants to contribute, how would you suggest I start?

I tried keeping up with the mailing lists for a while, but I found it difficult.

Read the porting handbook and work on updating ports of software you're interested in. That's an easy way to get your hands dirty quickly. You can learn a lot about how OpenBSD works and you can work with upstream projects to make their software port more easily to OpenBSD.
Thanks. This is solid advice and also how I used to contribute to GoboLinux!
