Great! I am excited that you are interested.

Let me know if you have any questions about the projects listed there,
and I'd be happy to add some more details. Alternatively, if none of
them pique your interest, that is OK, too, and we can brainstorm other
potential projects.

Oh, yes. Here is a command you can run to find some of them:

    $ git grep "git[^|]*|\($\|[^|]\)" -- t

There are some false-positives, but that should give you a good starting
point to look for potential spots to touch up.

BTW, re-reading [2], I wanted to clarify that "The git command should be
on the left side of a pipe" is describing what we should remove, not
add.

I'm looking forward to your patches!
