I imagine on most bigger projects youd either have to be invited/hired in to contribute but thank you ill check
also if I may ask how did contributing to guix change your life? I hope for the better haha
I don't think you need an invite, but I guess with most projects the learning curve is rather steep.
It changed my life so that what time I formerly invested in tiny toy projects (mostly proof-of-concept stuff that would've taken too much time to finish into a cool prototype) I now use that time to contribute to something bigger. The satisfaction that comes from working on a big, consensus-driven project is hard to describe—I've never enjoyed such a thing before and wouldn't want to miss it
