You should file bugs in bugzilla and attach patches there
for review (or attach patches for existing bugs):
   https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gtk%2B

You should build from git yes, master branch holds all the exciting
new stuff for upcoming GTK+ 3.0, gtk-2-22 branch (correct me if I'm
wrong) will be the last stable bugfixing branch for the 2.x series.

Building GTK+ using jhbuild is a good start too (it will ease your
life in getting the dependencies built right, and make it easier
to build GNOME applications against devel versions of GTK+).

You should also join GimpNet irc channel #gtk+ to get a feel for 
how things work.
