Subject: New contributor introduction and first patch

Hello,

My name is Archana Gowda and I am a Computer Science student interested in
contributing to OpenAFS.

I recently started exploring the codebase and submitted a small patch
improving readability in cmd.c.

PR: https://github.com/openafs/openafs/pull/10

I am also interested in applying for Google Summer of Code with OpenAFS
this year, and I am currently exploring the command framework to better
understand the codebase.

I would appreciate any guidance on beginner-friendly areas where I can
contribute further.

Thank you.
