A lot of small open-source projects lack a structure that allows them to be worked on by more than one person at a time. Without that structure, it is nearly impossible for external people to contribute to a project. Categorizing issues by required familiarity with the code ("novice" vs. "expert" levels) and establishing a good contribution and style guide are just a few of the very useful things one could apply to his or her smaller open-source project. One OS project that I've seen and love is https://love2d.org/ https://love2d.org/. Most of the work is done by a few contributors, but some members of the community give back at times.
