We have some info here:
http://www.videolan.org/contribute.html
https://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_Developers_Corner/

The usual advice is:
1. Get the code https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc
2. Build VLC for your platform, if you've achieved this you're already
in good shape
3. Look at our open issues
https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues and find one you think
you can help with
4. Submit a Merge Request for us to review

Note that we just transitioned to GitLab so a lot of the documentation
may still be referring to our previous hosting and bug tracker.

You can also talk to us on IRC (#videolan on irc.freenode.net)

Most of us are in Europe but none of us sleep so you'll probably find
help somewhere.

Good luck!
