Hi, David.

We're hopelessly undermanned, and your skills seem applicable; we'd love to
have your help. Most people ultimately work on things that benefit their
own workflows. Is there something in particular that you would like to fix
or to add? If not, just take a look at the issue tracker
<https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/issues> for something to do and
CONTRIBUTING.md
<https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md> for
how to do it.
