Welcome!
even though the official build system currently is NAnt, development
with your setup is supposed to work (if it doesn't, it is a bug).
The first thing you should do is to join the log4net-dev mailing list.
I think we need help in virtually any area - fixing bug, discussing
changes, documentation, testing ... you name it.
In general you pick what you want to work on, nobody is going to assign
work to anybody else. We are all doing this in our spare time and it is
supposed to be fun :-)
You may want to take a look at the JIRA issues to see whether you find
anything you'd like to work on. You know better than anybody else where
you can use your talent best - and what would be interesting to you.
Cheers
Stefan
