You can just submit your changes to the Bitcoin core repo https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin or you can fork it and create your own version. You can even just use/change one of the alternative implementations: https://github.com/bcoin-org/bcoin

bcoin
Mako – a full Bitcoin implementation in C
14 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 15 Nov 2021

My first bitcoin reimplementation was written in node.js and called bcoin[1]. So this is my second time reimplementing the bitcoin protocol, albeit in a very different language.
Bcoin was frequently used as a reference along with bitcoin core v0.8.0-v0.11.0 when I felt like double checking consensus functions (among other things).
As an aside, I personally think bitcoin core v0.8.0 is the best version of core if you want to learn bitcoin from it. It's a lot more straightforward than later versions. I personally don't enjoy reading any version beyond v0.11.0.
This is also the reason mako doesn't support taproot yet. That code is very new and isn't present in upstream bcoin. I could try to implement it from the BIPs alone, but I won't know what intricacies are present in the actual bitcoin core code until I actually read it.

Hey guys, Is there a way to run a bitcoin-core program (like https://github.com/bcoin-org/bcoin) without downloading the blockchain?

At least in Python, that's kinda what https://www.makotemplates.org is. Although if you're just using a subset of PHP suitable for templating, it's not really clear to me what benefit there is to PHP syntax versus, say, Jinja2 syntax.

Mako already exists - https://www.makotemplates.org/. Nothing says you can't use the same name, but it will mean you won't be able to publish to pypi and your searchability will be bad
