Help would be much welcome! But I think it's currently a bit hard to help. There is a repo for the API on GitHub:
https://github.com/creativecommons/cc.api But unlike the main creativecommons.org site, that repo doesn't encompass all of the API, it's expected to be deployed on a server together with dependencies (like the license.rdf repo). For creativecommons.org I spent a ton of time making it so that a single repo was all you needed, using submodules for some of the dependencies: https://github.com/creativecommons/creativecommons.org (see python_env) There is no such thing for the API right now, so to update it it's not a simple change in git. I agree with you though, it should be a lot easier to help. We are getting closer to hiring a new sysadmin, and cleaning up systems & getting everything in order will be an early priority.
