Ask HN: Can we get a Who is Hiring but for open source projects?

Given the number of open source foundations that many of us depend on, and how thinly stretched the resources are to maintain many of them, would such a monthly thread be a good idea? The thread would be open for anyone who is involved in a project to post details about the project, what areas are in need of volunteers at the moment (feature development, testing, documentation, project management, marketing, languages used...), and would be a great resource for people getting their feet wet in any of these areas. Also it can be an avenue for struggling projects to semi-promote themselves without feeling like they are spamming.
