GitLab's DevRel Engineering team runs a program called Co-create. They identify a "high-value contributor" - someone already actively using GitLab's own tooling, with a clear ongoing need - and send one of their engineers to spend a dedicated week working alongside that person on a real feature. The engineer provides a clear guide through the codebase and the entire contribution process, not just pair-programming the code itself. By the end of the week the contributor has independent momentum: a real contribution in flight, a working understanding of how to contribute again unassisted, and in some cases the start of a path to mentoring other contributors themselves.
