Hello Mike,

    Welcome to the Squid Project! Squid does need good C++ developers.
We have a lot more work than the current handful of regulars can carry.
The Apache committer status should qualify you for challenging
development projects, but please note that many areas of Squid code are
a lot less polished than httpd.

For wiki fixes, please see the following first step instructions if you
have not already: https://wiki.squid-cache.org/WikiAccountCreation

Another, somewhat similar project would be addressing bug 5021:
