If you select PHP, you get "So you like your variable names to include dollar signs? That's cool, everyone misses Perl once in a while." Making smartass remarks about their language of choice is not a great way to initiate a relationship with a developer.

This happens for every language :)
I actually really like the idea of this type of site. More open source projects should have one. The entry point into getting a project that you want to help with can be a little tricky. On a personal note, this probably was the wrong time for me to see this site and want to help since the latest Firefox update this morning was a serious dud on my computer.

Notice that selecting any language gives you a dismissive remark, not just PHP. But you're right in that it's probably not the best way to cast a wide net (unless they're intentionally selecting for contributors with a good sense of humor).

C++: "So you like long compile times and incomprehensible error messages? That's cool, we do too"
Java: "So you're a believer in AbstractMethodFactoryBeans? That's cool, we all have our vices"
Python: "So you enjoy the paradigm of backtrace-driven development? That's cool, everyone gets a bit tired of static typing once in a while"
C: "So you think OOP is for hipsters? That's cool, we all get nostalgic sometimes"
Javascript: "So you're a dynamic individual who thinks that, underneath, everything is an object? That's cool, we like to dream as well"
For Rust, it just sends you directly to it's site.
Some of their web projects have amazing documentation for new contributors, such as Kitsune's documentation: http://kitsune.readthedocs.org/
This site definetly did a good job of directing me in the right direction. Its a good idea IMO.
