Maybe you received other replies off-list, but in case you did not, I
would do something like this:
1. subscribe to http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
2. send an introduction email like the one you sent here
3. lurk on the list, and ask interesting questions
4. offer to help testing some patches and improve them where you can

If someone is sending patches (that may need testing), they are
normally keen on getting feedback. Any testing/reviewing you can do
will help and ask the posters if you have questions about it.

Good luck,
Niels
