Would be useful to have a version of this for projects looking for contributors (which I suppose would align more with students and recent grads looking to beef up their experience with someone guiding them, but who don't necessarily want take on a lead role for a project)

Relatedly, I really wish Github had some sort of point system to further incentivize contributing to projects. It would also be nice to have a standardized way of marking an issue as "help wanted" rather than having to search on any of the following labels: help wanted help-wanted good first bug Help Wanted contribution welcome HelpWanted first time contributor Contributor Friendly Good First Task beginner friendly good first contribution Good for New Contributors pull request wanted

    Good idea, but not currently maintained!

        https://github.com/openhatch/oh-mainline/graphs/contributors https://github.com/openhatch/oh-mainline/graphs/contributors But mostly because I know them (in particular paulproteus who is hard at work on sandstorm.io). It's a _great_ project that I've done some volunteer (non development) work for but would need a big infusion of money or contributors to be made useful again in 2016 as a project finder. Same goes for OpenHatch's 'open source comes to campus' outreach program. At least many other organizations are doing substantial and scaleable work in that vein. Not sure there's any large scale effort at building a project finder, but every small thing like Maintainers Wanted is good and helpful.

        Ah, thanks. I know him as well (though the handle was unfamiliar). I was under the impression it was running under new management.
