Hey,

As some may have noticed, GitHub and DigitalOcean have been promoting Open Source contributions in October for a few years now.

While the git repository itself is not hosted under GitHub, the Pro Git book, git for Windows, and git-scm website (at least) projects are, and could use this movement to get some more contributions, and eventually more maintainers (at least git-scm website had some maintainers problem some time ago).

I've been helping on the git-scm repository (mostly filtering issues and PRs), and I know there are still some issues which need to be addressed. If the remaining maintainers agree, we could filter and provide more instructions to some easy (or not so easy) issues, adding the 'hacktoberfest' label and try to use this movement to solve some problems

Probably, other repositories could also enjoy the opportunity.
Here's the website: https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/

Thanks,

Pedro
