I agree about intimidation. Some FOSS have very steep contribution requirements.

Here's a slightly exaggerated example:

Oh, you want to add a patch that moves line of code up by 5 lines? Well, first, you need to sign up in our separate issue tracker. Create new issue with properly formatted title and description and add bunch of tags you know nothing about. Don't forget screenshots and demo webpage where you can clearly see the problem. Now, you can do a PR, but you absolutely have to adhere to our issue title formatting. If there's even a tiny typo or it is not in a correct format it will be closed immediately. And then you wait for who knows how long.
