Notice that it is perfectly fine to be "open source" without being "open development". Many free software projects do not actually accept pull requests as a matter of principle.

I've run into projects run like this, but I would love to get some driveby pull requests. Sadly the segment I work in has very few software developers, but lots of people who are (needlessly) scared of the licensing bogeyman.

In that case, you canmake a driveby issue. This will be preferable for them and easier for you.
