Contributing to .NET for Dummies

Over the past few months in the little spare time that I have, I've managed to submit a handful of pull requests to various .NET-related repositories (e.g. coreclr [https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr], corefx [https://github.com/dotnet/corefx], docs [https://github.com/aspnet/doc], etc.) and
