I personally won't have time to do it, unfortunately. By the way, in case people think this is spam, I am the one who signed SymPy up on Open Hatch. Every once in a while I get an email about someone wanting to contribute, but I generally don't have time to do anything with it, so if people want to volunteer themselves, please do. There's some way to sign up for occasional emails from Open Hatch whenever someone expresses interest in working with SymPy (I couldn't figure out how to do it on the website, so one of the Open Hatch guys will have to explain how).
