Since I read 'looking for OS contrib' posts, I think about a webapp for this, like craiglist, for people who're looking for help. :)

Yeah for help, perhaps that too but there's plenty of places to ask for help. I was aiming more at collaboration, start a project together with people that share your interest.

Not:
Who can help me create a cool design for my niche music project?
Looking for someone to create isometric artwork for online game.

But more like:
Who wants to start a community for musicians together?
I have this and that idea for a new type of RPG, who wants to build it from the ground up with me?

I find difficult to meet all people, platforms are always divided by activity dribble or codepen for designer, github for developer, soundcloud for musicians, and translator/tester .. hum nowhere :)

Some projects start on Twitter/Facebook, some on Github. But it could be difficult for non-tech people to be aware of theses projects.

Github is a good platform but if you want to contribute to a music software project they're so many choice, you can find dead project or owner which doesn't accept PR, or don't need your specific help (design, translaction).
