This is the most up-to-date place to look for to get you started:

https://github.com/openstack/neutron/blob/master/doc/source/devref/contribute.rst

There is no wiki afaik, and only one spec that targeted the Kilo release,
so I I'd be curious to know what you mean by 'it's all scattered', as I'd
love to clean this up if possible.
