Quick note: I know that: (a) There are many developers who would be interested in helping with Jackson, but (b) Jackson codebase is not the easiest one to grok well enough to change things (although reproducing issues is easier)
But even if changing "core" components (streaming parser/generator; databind) is bit involved, some extension modules are easier to work with: in particular, datatype modules can be easier -- and many of them are still work-in-progress given both scope of datatypes (Guava, Java 8 date/time, for example have dozens of types) and additions to databind that need (de)serializer support. Now: Java 8 date/time module: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-modules-java8 (one of 3) in particular gets a few issue reports (which is good -- that's how things get improved). Since I am bit overloaded with work on core components, especially to finalize 2.10, I was thinking that perhaps others could help with this module? I will still help with PR code reviews, getting CLAs filed and that kind of stuff; and I can also delegate some of that work if anyone is interested (especially by anyone who has contributed something that has been merged -- i.e. after one or two contributions I'm happy to give commit access). I can also start tagging issues there with a new label if that would make sense, to point to things I think might be relatively easy "starter problems".
