Start from the projects you are using. You might find that many of them are primarily one-man efforts and could use some support. For example, we use verdaccio (https://www.verdaccio.org/ https://www.verdaccio.org/) as a private NPM server. IT was so mindblowingly simple to get a private server working that, when the opportunity presented itself, we felt compelled to donate: https://opencollective.com/verdaccio https://opencollective.com/verdaccio In this case, it seems that there was an older abandoned effort (sinopia) and the original developer Alex Kocharin (https://github.com/rlidwka https://github.com/rlidwka) stopped. Juan Picado (https://github.com/juanpicado https://github.com/juanpicado) picked up the mantle and given how NPM is moving fast and breaking things it's great to see someone is keeping up with the open source solution.
