I would like something like this that helps me, as a green developer, find open source projects to contribute to.

For instance, I recently learned about how to replace setup.py with pyproject.toml for a large number of projects. I also learned how to publish packages to pypi. These changes significantly improve project ease and accessibility, and are very easy to do.

The main thing that holds people back is that python packaging documentation is notoriously cryptic - well I've already paid that cost, and now it's easy!

So I'm thinking of finding projects that are healthy, but haven't focused on modernizing their packaging or distributing their project through pypi.

I'd build human + agent based tooling to help me find candidates, propose the improvement to existing maintainers, then implement and deliver.

I could maybe upgrade 100 projects, then write up the adventure.

Anyone have inspiration/similar ideas, and wanna brainstorm?

...or you could just use the GitHub API to find projects that match certain criteria (e.g., no pyproject.toml). I'm not sure what the stochastic parrot adds here, besides making noob mistakes that you'll have to find and fix before you can submit PRs. You'd learn a lot more by trying to actually automate the process yourself.
