   @Schneems @avdi I'd just leave pull requests at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pulls and wait :) As far as I see, the core developers give reasonable decisions as to which of PRs they'd merge.

   For design principles, it'd be worthwhile reading through https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/07/cage-the-mastodon/ (once the origin sever comes back :mastodon_oops:

     @avdi scanning down the list of contributors first I recognize by name is @zundan.

     Any tips for getting something merged into mastodon Zunda?

     @avdi the weirdest part to me is that it’s a Ruby thing and I don’t actually know who wrote or runs it, like socially.

     I realize I could self correct that and I’ll probably do so soon but just find this odd in general.

     I'd be interested in hearing from people who are contributing to any of these. The fact is I got really excited about digging into t contributing to a major public Ruby project, and now I'm kind of sad

     Documenting my research: There seem to be three major Mastodon forks that are (maybe?) more open to contributions.

     - Hometown, a lightweight fork reflecting one person's preferences
     - glitch-soc, intentionally favoring "kitchen sink" over stability
     - ecko, interesting for being governed according to Pieter Hintjen's C4 social contract for open source projects
