[cfe-dev] Good starter projects/bugs?

I plan on spending some time this weekend hacking on LLVM/Clang.  I've 
spent the last few months playing around with LLVM and Clang, but would 
like to start contributing back.  I've glanced through the bugzilla bug 
reports, but was wondering if anyone had recommendations for low hanging 
fruit to target.  I'd like to stick to fairly short projects at this 
point because I don't have much time to contribute and would like to be 
able to push useful changes during the time I have.  Any suggestions?

I have several years of professional C++ development experience, and am 
relatively familiar with the Clang code base at this point.  For a 
personal project, I've been hacking through the parser adding some 
language extensions.  As a result, I've spent a fair amount of time in 
Parse, Semi, and CodeGen directories.  Ideas for useful 
refactorings/fixups in those areas are welcome.

Yours,
