I've written a general overview on Wiki lately to understand the basic 
parts of osm-carto:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Standard_tile_layer

Detailed documentation is in the repo, especially in this file:

https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

However I'm not able to guess what exactly is needed, since I'm involved 
in it for too long and because nobody is asking questions about how to 
start.

It also depends on how many people are interested at all and what is 
their background. For 1-2 persons it'll be easier for me to help 
personally case by case (which I'm willing to do), while for 10-20 it 
makes sense to develop more documentation or explain some examples in 
the diary.
