Thanks for the tip! Its A good idea and actually also part of my plan. There is one extra barrier that makes me a bit uneasy about this, however, which is that I am in every case at least hundreds, if not thousands of miles away from these people. I am not shy at all if meeting someone in person, but making these kinds of cold contacts with the extra barrier of physical distance is a new for me, and part of why I started cooking up schemes involving github.
