I wish to understand the code and contribute for fixes / enhancements in the future. To begin with, how can I approach the details of current open bugs, available documentation. Would it be fine to pick some bugs for analysis and work on trivial bug fixes? If so, what's the process for the same. Thanks, ..Yogi.

Sure, that'd be fine. You can see the list of bugs here: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?package=grep Your email created a bug report, which I'm taking the liberty of closing.
