The problem is that ALL projects are ALWAYS desperate for help. Its just often they need help from a particular kind of person. POI for instance needs people who LIKE hex dumps and can think at a binary level. That�s a very small minority of Java developers.
Other projects have various other needs, but I doubt any project would say "yeah, we're overstaffed"...
