...and the grass and grass-addons repos are tagged and I'm ready to do some
reviews. I just didn't have any capacity to do the promotion myself and I
don't know how many people here follow Hacktoberfest (you can, after all,
do the proper Octoberfest), but yes, we are active although there was no
announcement.

Yes.

I did not check the new rules in relation to the website, but non-coding
PRs in grass and grass-addons will count for sure and with the label, we
are set.

The checks are more straightforward, so a better fit for Hacktoberfest.
Also, having HTML/CSS/JS checks in place is a good basis for changing the
documentation because we can merge with greater confidence.

If you see something which hurts your eyes or feels really clunky, that
might be a place to start (that might be code, CLI, or documentation on
mobile). Someone will likely be able to point you to the right code. ...or
suggest trying something else first :-)

Best,
