If you are looking for something to code that does not require deep
knowledge of strace internals, there are at least two areas that come
to mind:

1. Extending strace test coverage.  We are just over 50% according to
https://codecov.io/github/strace/strace, practical test coverage is
probably a bit less because some code paths executed during "make check"
are not really covered by tests.

2. Extending -e trace=class syntax with new classes.  strace currently
supports desc, file, ipc, memory, network, process, and signal.
Additional classes might be useful, e.g. all open-like syscalls,
all stat-like syscalls, all syscalls dealing with uid/gid, etc.

A portable strace?  Have you released it as a free software?
