The biggest thing the committers need help with is testing and review. In other words, just try out the patches (or add patches ;) ) and comment on what you tested and what the results were.
Right now committers have to test and review and commit things, ie take on the full load for these issues, and it's a big problem because lots of patches contributed have problems with them, and way too often these are not caught before the commit. Sometimes they are not caught for months after.
So yeah, testing and feedback/review are huge places where lots of people can help.
That's also a great way to move toward becoming a committer... ;)
