A one-line patch for a complex module or piece of code may require much more than looking at that single line to really review. I hope you understand that. That said, if you find any issues in the bug tracker that in your opinion need only a few minutes of attention from a core developer, feel free to send a note to the mentorship mailing list. People sometimes come there asking for precisely this thing (help reviewing a simple patch they submitted), and usually get help quickly if their request is justified.
