Your web framework needs you!
summary
Django has healthy public signs but a tiny active maintainer base doing triage, patch review and releases through the fellowship, leaving 1,300+ accepted tickets and most commits coming from a handful of people. A proposal to dissolve django core is underway and the project urgently needs diverse contributors. Concrete steps include joining django-developers and turning off notifications, emailing django core mentorship when stuck, getting the repo and run the test suite, then open a PR and ask for review.
