Hi Federico and Hardik I am glad that you liked this proposal, participating in Hacktoberfest will surely help the community.
I would just like to clarify here that by participating I meant preparing/labelling issues and encouraging and others to contribute. There is no registration required by an organization or a project. All public repositories are eligible to participate in Hacktoberfest. I hope I didn't create a confusion here. > - find contributors / users willing to help with review/testing of the patches We will surely need help of our existing contributors and community members for reviewing pull requests. It is my humble request to all community members to come forward and contribute according to their availability. > - announce our participation (where would we do this?) While it is not needed to announce our participation, I will recommend sharing it on social media platforms and Hacktoberfest Discord Server <https://discord.gg/hacktoberfest> where people are generally looking for new issues to contribute. P.S.: If anyone has any doubts, I suggest reading FAQ section on Hacktoberfest website <https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/faq/>. If your query remains unresolved you can ask it on any of their support channels, they are usually very responsive. While I only posses fair amount of knowledge regarding Hacktoberfest, I will be glad to help out with your queries.
