Of Course you can contribute to projects randomly online, but I think this could be an efficient method. After looking around and testing multiple waters, I came across Apache APISIX. I looked up their JIRA and got in contact with [Zhiyuan Ju](https://github.com/juzhiyuan) (**PMC at Apache APISIX, and a great guy to work with**).
