That's a bit unfair, but any developer would need to get up to
speed on a lot of information before being able to make a useful
contribution.

There are some pointers at https://ardour.org/development.html (actually
a lot of information there)

I believe the usual procedure with open source projects is something like:
- Get the source code
- get it to build on your own system (not easy, I've heard)
- look in the tracker for a bug to fix (there's thousands to choose
  from!) 
- send in a patch if you manage to fix or improve something
Repeat and rinse until you are trusted with write access to the
repository.
