I think a big part of the problem of "contributing to open source" has become GitHub itself. On the one hand, it's a great product that's done tons to promote FOSS, but it's created a world where we can't "contribute to open source" without permission from a gatekeeper maintainer. It's all so centralized and bottlenecked. I understand it's matter of human nature and commercial incentives that keeps things this way, but it still seems so suboptimal as far as the software itself is concerned.

I imagine that in the future we will have a "Google for code", where algorithms dynamically find us the optimal code for doing X from around the internet without X being a single privileged master branch temple on GitHub.
