If you want to contribute to OSS, the Code Shelter would like your help maintaining abandoned OSS projects: https://www.codeshelter.co/ Disclosure: I started this.

Why are you calling them "abandoned"? On the site, you say it's for projects that need some help. I don't think people looking to contribute to OSS want to find "abandoned" projects to contribute to.

Some just need help, some are completely abandoned. Maybe people don't want that, personally I contribute to less-maintained projects I find useful.
