Would you be interested in this Python open source project?

There are tons of projects that need help, I recommend that instead of
re-inventing the wheel as there are enough choices out there re cicd and
very likely you will find that your goal of 10/90 is unrealistic.

Have a look at codetriage.com, and github has a feature that allows you to
search for projects that need help.

Another major advantage of helping an existing project is that you will be
seeing how others write python code so you will learn best practices faster
(dont kid yourself, if you do it on your own the code you write now you
will find horrible in a year, and you certainly will not be interested in
rewriting it!).

Keep up the good work!
