Agree, maybe doing "Help FOSS" could be more relevant just posting any task, Open source contributor might ask for help, for some of their specific fields, HN has plenty of excellent developers
Excellent developers (and even non-excellent developers) have an abundance of opportunities to contribute to open source projects. I think that "Show HN" provides a reasonable exposure mechanism for a project to reach HN's audience and one with a roadmap has the chance to highlight areas where people might lend their expertise.
