Pick an area to help in and help with it (file bug reports, submit patches, comment on mailing lists). If people notice you are working well towards a specific area you are far more likely to be mentored. Ask this question to a developer in a few months time, one who you have a rapport with.

Hello Gentoo developers,<br><br>because I do not know anybody in the Gentoo developer community I want to ask<br>if anybody has enough time and motivation to help a newbie doing his first<br>steps in Gentoo development?<br>
<br>It would be nice if this person could also &quot;transform&quot; to my mentor if I feel<br>ready in some weeks, months or years...<br><br>Bye,<br><br>Rafael<br><br><br></blockquote></div><br>
