Thanks for the response! I couldn't agree more. I find myself telling new tech writers looking to build their portfolios to "contribute to open source projects", but I am aware of how much additional burden it can place on the maintainers. Thanks for validating my concerns!
I am also considering arranging a Technical Writing challenge for Hacktoberfest, where open source projects open smaller, modular docs issues that tech writers can then work on. I need to think through this.
