In GitHub there is a large bioinformatics community, many of the tools are in continuous improvement, at least if they are recent, and they are usually open to add functional scripts made by anyone if that improves the functionality of their software, or to fixing code.
You can also ask in Biostar, Seqanswers and Twitter. I'm using bioinformatics continuously (microbial ecology, metagenomics...) but I have no coding skills further than simple bash scripting. I know that the Australian Centre of Ecogenomics has in development several tools collectively known as "M suite", e.g. GraftM, and the Huttenhower Lab also have many in active development in their biobakery.
Good luck

I've spent a lot of spare time studying biomedical concepts like (epi)genetics, molecular biology, disease genotypes and phenotypes, etc. As a volunteer for a neurogenetic research group I have participated on an exome analysis pipeline (variant calling and annotation). I have a modest understanding of statistics and machine learning, I'm into it. I work 30 hours a week as a Node.js and Python developer for a small company that has nothing to do with bioinformatics. Node.js seems to become popular for bioinformatics, there are many projects now. And I love Python! I'm a DIYbio believer with a strong autodidact and non-academic attitude. I'm currently looking for a new volunteering project. If you are a bioinformatician who could need some extra support, please get in touch with me. I'm willing to spend about 10-20 hours a week to help you getting results while you guide me (not teach me) and well, be a kind of supervisor. It could be anything related to research, software development, web apps .. whatever. Anyone with similar experience? I found this article motivating. Please share, thanks!
