Yep. Thought I'd add the comments. I don't work with Java so probably not likely to get round to setting this up and doing the edits.

There's plenty of open-source projects I could be spending my time working on, or reddit browsing I could be doing, so I doubt I or anyone from reddit is likely to help develop these projects unless there's some utility for us or the community as a whole.

If you want to work with a team and other people's code, the best thing is to start doing pull requests that solve your problems on popular or reasonably popular projects. The more popular, the more likely you would be to get ignored, so if you picked a project that you regularly use, but maybe not extremely popular but you see a flaw or something that could be improved then you may well get your changes accepted.

You can't really just setup a github account and expect a flood of pull requests unless you already have some popular project that just doesn't happen to be on github.
