Hi. Currently, we (basically the maintainers, but also a few other people) are working on the 'next generation wget' (wget2). That means, we try to reduce work on wget1.x to bug fixes.
Since we didn't have a release yet, I don't want to bother the wget mailing list. The main git repo is on Savannah (git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/wget/ wget2.git), but we are collaborating through Github right now (may change to Gitlab some day). See https://github.com/rockdaboot/wget2. There is all kinds of work to do for the release... coding, testing, documentation, code coverage, finding bugs (maybe start a fuzzing project !?). Just drop in if you like (and with what you like). Maybe you start a code review, or just start with testing, or reading some wiki pages (https:// github.com/rockdaboot/wget2/wiki). Ask questions, open issues, create pull requests as you like. We need and appreciate your help, your views, suggestions, ... What we offer is a friendly co-working without any pressure, we will review and test your changes, you'll learn a lot about developer tools (compilers, valgrind, gcov/lcov, git, Github, gnulib, style, static analysis, cross- compilation, IDE (what's your favorite IDE ?)), about specialties of OSses, lot's about internet protocols (TCP 4/6, DNS, TLS, HTTP, HTTP/2, OCSP, HSTS, Metalink, PSL, ...) and RFC standards. Hope. you'll join us !
