Okay, one way to get "into" the project might be to look at the code
and search for obvious things like FIXME or TODO -- as these will be a
sure sign of bugs in future releases! Also it's quite important to get
the developer environment setup, so I would be interested to see how
hard you find that.

Cool. We defiantly need more code review, especially when it comes to
documentation. One thing that might be nice is more GCancellation
integration in the tools and library, and generally for
libpackagekit-glib to have a more modern design.
