That's great news. We could always use a helping hand.
I think that particular issue is a bit controversial and may need a bit more discussion among the team. https://github.com/cuberite/cuberite/issues/4375 should be a much better candidate - it's really self-contained, it means writing entirely new code, has almost zero chance of breaking stuff and it's crystal clear we'll be needing it. On the other hand, it will be a long time before it is possible to actually test it out in real world, at first it will only need to be tested using internal tests, since it will be used by the 1.13+ protocols, which will take a lot of time to develop.
Do note that we're currently trying to transition from supporting pre-1.13 Minecraft to supporting 1.13+, which breaks basically everything. That means that there will be a point where most of the code will be broken and will need fixing to get it to work again; huge amount of changes, and we've got almost zero developer workforce. A few people nibbling here and there currently, since most of us are taken by family matters or school or others.
