The most important tasks are to finish off pull requests, fix bugs and close issues. For this, it can be useful to look at tickets labelled 'easy': https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues?page=2&q=is%3Aopen+label%3Aeasy

Welcoming new contributors

The sprint is a great time for new contributors to become familiar with the project. We welcome newcomers. Please be sure to read the contributing section of the documentation http://scikit-learn.org/dev/developers/index.html, and to have a development environment ready in which you can install scikit-learn from scratch, build it, and use git to push changes to github.
