The Design System Ecosystem
It depends on the level of contribution.
You can contribute by responding to the discussions in the backlog[0], by improving the actual distributed styles and code[1] or suggesting improvements to the documentation in the link I posted above.
Bigger changes need to be backed up with user research, evidence of user needs and accessibility reviews and checks.

Can we at least modernize visually hidden?
However looking at the samples with modern browsers I was unable to see the overflow issue. So it might now be entirely possible that setting negative margin is not required anymore. And it happens to actually be harmful: negative margin can change the reading order in VoiceOver!

The impact of removing jQuery on our web performance
To that end, we're still in the process of dropping support for IE 8–10, along with reducing IE 11 to 'functional'—it doesn't always look the same, but users can still complete tasks.

- How and why we removed jQuery from Gov.uk

I hate CSS: how can I build UIs?
Agreed, find a class-less framework to start, so that you focus on just the HTML, semantic structure first. Here's a couple of lists of such frameworks:

Personally, I like simple.css (https://github.com/kevquirk/simple.css)

Why everybody speaks only about Tailwind, what happened to Boo0strap?
I think picocss is the best classless CSS framework, but there a bunch of others:

Show HN: Lissom.CSS, a classless, minimalist, and themeable CSS library
Nice work! I like that you have included support for prefers-color-scheme, which is one of the more highly-requested features for these kinds of frameworks.
I've added Lissom to the big list of minimal CSS frameworks [0] which aims to collect all of these types of projects (more or less) in one place for ease of discoverability and comparison. You can preview the CSS on some HTML5 boilerplate here [1].

MVP.css – Minimalist stylesheet for HTML elements
Makes it just so easy to switch and select. Embed in your html page, select an item from the drop down and see what it does to the page, when you’re happy, remove ! Simple. Genius. Wonder why I never thought of it.
Also has a demo page [2] to try it out

Pico CSS Framework
This is great! I've added it to this big list[0] of classless/minimal CSS frameworks (100+ frameworks) to make it easier to compare to other similar projects.
For those interested in Pico (which is already on the list), you can preview it on some boilerplate HTML here[1] or use the Javascript bookmarklet[2] to preview how it would look on any arbitrary page, which can be helpful for prototyping a new site.
