Hey there, Thanks for the breakdown for all of this.
I'm a long time user of Org Mode in my every day work as a Technical Support Engineer with the past two jobs I've had, so its awesome how easy it is to possibly contribute to it, as I really really really do think Org Mode and Emacs are awesome. Thanks for this, will see how I can help as I would love to improve my Elisp skills a bit. I'll look to see if there are low-hanging fruit type issues that are easy to modify first on the Sourcehut repo.
