Well, first of all, have more confidence. Or at least have the confidence to try. Most maintainers will help you get a PR through if it's something they find valuable.

Also, be very, very patient with maintainers. Most likely they're overworked, and this is their part-time job. It might take them a long time to get to your PR, and you might have to ping them several times to get them to notice. Don't pester them too much.

Thanks for answering and for the encouragement! I also would like to ask where one might search for a project to join? Do you just cruise Github and look for one or are there any sites that make it easier to find projects to join that you recommend? Thanks again!
