I am burning out

Ignoring the self-involvement inherent in the article, if you want to contribute to something big (There's nothing wrong with wanting that sense of "I helped build this"); go contribute to a big FOSS project!

Fix a bug in rails[1] or django[2] (Pretty sure I saw you're a python guy).

Fix some of the hilarious problems with Bower[3] (Saw some js too).

There's an entire world of awesome problems to solve. Go solve them.

Contributing to Django might not be a good idea: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5476431

I see your point (and in my view- screw contributing if it means interacting with trac), but reading over that issue it does look like his patch wasn't backwards compatible.

The issue was reopened 5 weeks ago so hopefully it resolves well :/
