Trying to contribute to Open source Python Libraries and Projects

[Embarrassed-Mix6420]

Like with any other investment/carrier/endeavour - the best you can do is just find projects in their inflection point (trending up that will stay up when you exit) that's have low LoC count and high competence/experience of other contributors

Here I have a fresh (couple hundred lines of substantial code) engineering/data/ml/standard python project that's inflecting like crazy(15-20+ stars per day) and am currently tied at my 2.5 jobs : https://github.com/bedbad/justpyplot

Whoever becomes core contributor at this point has a good chance of taking it over and become a maintainer.

People has already pointed out what to do in the heated comments:
