Hi, I’m new to this whole WordPress Core thing and would like to add to the core with an idea I have to help responsive web designers with featured images. Basically, add an option for setting an aspect ratio, instead of defining some fixed width and height. How do I get started?

Hi Schwarttzy, and welcome! If you’re interested in contributing, you should start with the Core Contributor Handbook, which has a lot of information about the process and the tools we use:

It’s also incredibly useful to drop in on a few of the weekly dev chats in IRC — even though a lot of what happens there is updates on what different teams are doing, it’ll give you a good idea of what’s going on as well as the whole workflow. You’re also welcome to ask in #wordpress-dev if you need more help getting started; there’s usually someone around outside of meeting times.
As for responsive images, there’s an existing ticket to make heights and widths filterable, although it hasn’t seen any action in a few months: you might want to start with getting familiar with the discussion and patches that have already happened in that effort. Check out #14110
