There are many options for contributing to OpenOffice. Check the link

To find out what the macros are you would need to read the macro code
and decide whether you feel the operations it wants to perform are
safe OR ask the person who created them what their purpose is.

It should be possible to review the macro code after opening the
document they're embedded in by selecting Tools > Macros > Organize
Macros > OpenOffice.org Basic from the menu and then, in the "Macro
from" section of the dialog box, expand the branch for the current
document and under that the branch for Standard, then select the
"ThisDocument" item and click the Edit button. That will open the
macro in the editor and make it possible to read the macro commands.
