Cool. As far as "participating at some level" goes, simply lurking on
the mailing list and throwing in occasional suggestions is a good level of
participation.
For any "package" that could be implemented, there are obviously
different ways to name methods, present APIs, etc. So airing
different points of view would be a great help.
I certainly don't intend it to be a high-intensity project that takes
up lots of people's time. Backward-incompatibilities would be
strenuously avoided, which means a slow, considered pace is likely.

I guess this seems reasonable as an example:
require 'nslib/packer'
