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.

Firefox on the brink?
Now and then I stumble upon the USWDS (the article mentions it) and am surprised how good that thing actually is.

A design system for the federal government
I would like to note that there currently is no centralized Design System for the Dutch Government, unfortunately. All agencies are creating their own Design System based on the Rijkshuisstijl.
Currently I'm working on ROOS (https://rvo.nl/roos) which is the Design System for the Netherlands Enterprise Agency. This is build with the already mentioned NL Design System. My hope being that this will bring the different agencies together and start working on a centralized Design System for the Dutch Government and follow the excellent examples of https://design-system.service.gov.uk and https://designsystem.digital.gov/

Visual design rules you can safely follow every time
FYI I recommend following U.S. gov't standards: https://designsystem.digital.gov/documentation/developers/
Dark/light mode is fine and all, however be wary of accessibility. Note that the US actually even publishes it's own CSS/JS framework similar to bootstrap. I believe (but I am not positive) it is here: https://designsystem.digital.gov/
I don't claim it to be perfect, but the last time I had the opportunity to use it, it put other UI/UX frameworks to shame.
