B612 Font Family
Even the font's designers were unable to contribute due to a lack of merge rights, since they weren't elected by the Eclipse foundation. https://github.com/polarsys/b612/issues/10#issuecomment-4719...
The only user who's demonstrated merge rights on the repo is the repo's Eclipse Foundation project lead, Laurent Spaggiari: https://projects.eclipse.org/content/laurent-spaggiari-proje...
Who's the only listed contributor on the repo: https://github.com/polarsys/b612/blob/master/CONTRIBUTORS.tx...
And who's been publicly inactive on GitHub since the repo's last merge in March 2019: https://github.com/LaurentSpaggiari?tab=overview&from=2019-0...
I don't think any amount of tooling knowledge could facilitate a contribution at this point. It's a dead project. The best anyone could do is apply the steps in issue #24 to a fork and start promoting it.

Programming Fonts
Have been following this site for years. I also like checking the repo's commit history page [0] which is essentially a "what's new" for programming fonts.

I also find monospaced fonts ideal for immersive reading due to their crude, un-decorated vibe which is good for keeping attention. So whenever I want to read a long article but don't bother saving it to Instapaper, I turn on the Dark Reader add-on, which changes all web fonts to a monospaced font I specified and cover the page with a sepia tone.
