I am interested in participating in GSoC with BookBrainz, but I have not previously made any contributions to the project. What should I do?

I have been attempting to participate in GSoC for quite some time now, and upon reviewing the project list, I have found the perfect project with your organization. However, I have not made any prior contributions to the BookBrainz community, and I am interested in doing so. I did not find any relevant issues on the GitHub page, but I did notice that one can add books and authors from the website. Would that be considered a contribution, and if so, how much do I need to contribute to become a valuable part of the community? If it is not considered a contribution, what else can I do to contribute?
