Hello Goncalo and again Welcome =). I will approve your group membership in a
second. Here are some links to information you'll want to familiarize yourself
 with:
Components and Triager List:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/Components_and_Triagers

we'd recommend you pick a component from that list that you feel
comfortable working on, then contact its maintainer to say you'll be
working on triaging it, and ask if they have any tips or special
requests. Then read:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsAndFeatureRequests
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/Tools

As I said to Gabriel earlier, it's really not as bad as it looks.

Remember if you have any questions or problems, #fedora-bugzappers,
myself or any of the another team members should be able to help you out.
We have regular weekly meetings on Tuesdays at 15:00 UTC - if you have the time,
 and and would like to participate.
