Thank you for writing and offering to help - much need and much appreciated.

I think the best place to start is to try and run the website locally,
as explained here:
  http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/RunningSavaneLocally/
This will allow you to hack on the PHP code locally and experiment with
improvements quickly. If something doesn't work for you with these
instructions please let us know.

There are many places for improvements, some are listed here:
  http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/SavannahHackingIdeas/

Another critical aspect is that the current PHP code runs on PHP 5.5.9,
but not on modern PHP7. Fixing that would be very valuable.

If you have other interests or features you'd like to add - please feel free
to work on those and send patches.

I also recommend subscribing to this mailing list (address@hidden) -
this is the best place to discuss all savannah matters.

regards,
