I feel like I do more for open source by not contributing - given my staggering incompetence, I'd only make things worse.

Hardly. Tons of projects needs documentation, translation, website/wiki updates etc.

Even a simple thing as triaging bugs is very important and contributes to the project, and is an excellent way to learn the codebase of you're a coder.

But the most important thing you need as a new contributor is patience. Submission reviews take time so does learning, eventually your contribution will be a part of the project.

Great comment. I am on that team as well.
