(TL,DR: link)
I recently decided to invest a little time in the Python Package Index website, which is widely used by almost any project using Python in some fashion.
The main engine is called warehouse, and is open source, written mostly in Python and JavaScript.
There's only a few core maintainers, and they do the hard work on deciding when something is done, as well as helping newer contributors get involved.
I came across a few things that I figured I could help with, and took on a two-year old feature request to provide a keyboard shortcut to activate the search field.
Here's the final outcome, merged today:
