Either: - try to discuss issues on the bug trackers (or IRC), propose a solution, then send a patch/PR. - find an itch on the project and scratch it. I did that for grml-etc-core [0], and helped port some advanced functionality to *BSD because I found it cool, but it only worked well enough on Linux. I also add some specific info in documentation when needed [1] Don't work alone on a task before pushing a patch to the devs, make sure someone's aware of your work.

A light but featureful alternative to omz is also the grml zsh configuration [0]. I've been using it since 2011 or so and I've probably touched my .zshrc once or twice. If you fancy some colors you can also add some syntax highlighting [1]. Or just use fish which is great for interactive use!
