How do you want to contribute? If you can code or package you can use the Build Service to submit patches/improvements to packages in factory. One of the best ways to contribute to Factory is to test it till it bleeds and then provide really good in-depth bug reports (with a fix would be even better ;-) ). If you are knowledgeable in the ways of Linux and the way the geeko does things then you can help others on IRC and the forums. If you have a marketing flair you can join in with the openSUSE Marketing Team. You could translate packages/documentation/wiki etc.
openSUSE has a wide range of ways for people to contribute, it has always had many ways to contribute, it is expanding them even further on a fairly regular basis.
Decide on how you want to contribute and then do it. If that medium doesn't exist yet then request it. Requesting that it be possible to contribute to factory is pointless as many ways already exist.
Is there a good "Get Involved" (or similar) page that lists all this with links to the items and which is well-linked itself? Your post sounds like a very good starter for that!
Something like this page? http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_Participate Note that this is linked on the left-hand side in the wiki, but I suspect it's not being noticed. We need to make this more prominent.
