Welcome. There are endless of things to do, it mostly depends on what
you're good at and/or want to work with.
Second to the mailing lists, you can regard the semi-official GitHub
repo as the center of JtR-Jumbo universe:
https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper
The default branch is "unstable-jumbo" but it's permafrozen in an
archeological bugfix-only state so you should use the "bleeding-jumbo"
branch instead, for everything.
We use GitHub issues as a better-than-nothing bug tracker & to-do list:
https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheRipper/issues
There's also an old wish-list on the wiki, pretty outdated. I don't use
it anymore but there may be stuff in there that's not listed in Issues
(while other things might be implemented already - I'll try to update in
soon):
http://openwall.info/wiki/john/wishlist
Also, a lot of formats are merely PoC code, totally unoptimized and/or
not using SIMD. Feel free to pick some and make them a couple hundred
percent faster with ease.
Oh btw we also have a Test Suite at:
https://github.com/magnumripper/jtrTestSuite
Do you have means/skills to work with OpenCL? Or 256/512 bit SSE intrinsics?
