I wonder if they’re choosy about what language the person normally uses. The code I work with at my job is not written in Python, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be willing to put in the extra effort to work with new syntax and get into Python reference documentation.
If you really want to volunteer, install and configure the LW code from github, make the changes, test them and present a working fork to EY to poke at and give you feedback. If he likes the result, he’ll probably ask Trike to review and integrate your changes. Or something along these lines.
That’s the second time I’ve heard that piece of advice.
If I desire to make a change that is most likely wanted, not too large a time investment (as I am risking that the change is ignored or rejected), and also the sort of change that can be made by editing the open source (as opposed to, say, an SEO change specific to the text in an article or something), I will consider doing just that.

Oops, sorry. I should have realized. My thought process was “If I were Luke, what kind of volunteer help with the site would I prefer?” And the answer is invariably “minimum hassle”.
The other person told me elsewhere. There’s no way you would have known about it. The intended meaning of “That’s the second time...” was “When more than one person tells me something, that makes it seem more likely to be useful.”

It’s a very vague recollection, I just remember him complaining about the lack of Python volunteers.

Heh. You’re probably right.
