The application framework is the basis of a range of mission critical 
scientific software at large organizations in defense, aerospace, 
logistics, and research, such as at Boeing, Airbus Defense and Space, 
NASA, and NATO.

Such people typically work for money, unless they just love NetBeans very much :) - therefore I'm somewhat pessimistic regarding huge inflow of fresh blood ...

Anyway to contribute to "something under ASF" you need to become a contributor there -> this means contributor license agreement and other 'complication' staff - i see no much difference from contributing to open source Oracle software. Situation may get significantly different if just hosted on github under something like MIT license - that way anyone having github account can fork project, do some enhancements and send merge-request back to owner, with minimal paper work and much more efficiency thus decreasing entry effort. As far as i know this way does not work in ASF (as well as in Oracle).
