If you point them to the first orientation module that will explain
how to sign up for mailing lists:
http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-contributing.html

And in general, if someone expresses interest in all areas (qa, doc,
C+,etc.) then I would send them to the root orientation page and have
them read a little about each one, to decide what they want to do:
