I think it'd be a sensible first step to look at the projects (e.g.
Swift, Spectrum, Jitsi...) and see which you'd most like to work on.
You'll then find contact details for the mentors for those projects
available on the ideas page, and could get in touch with them to see
which of the ideas might suit you best.

That statistic isn't particularly meaningful, as the quality of
application varies wildly.
