The word "contributors" just sent chills down my spine.

why?

:)

There's the monthly Who Is Hiring thread[1] for that.

It appears tirthbodawala is the repository maintainer. I think they are asking for contributions to the project, not looking for new hires.

Thanks Pault for making it clear. That is exactly what am looking for.

You're right, I read "contributors" as something else. My apologies.

You understood it correctly.

It's an open source project though, MIT license.

not sure what you mean. why email you if this is an open source project on github? is there something i'm missing?

No you are not missing anything, its just if you want to understand how and what we have done. And how we want the further development to proceed, thus contacting us would become inevitable.
