I suppose you meant _without_. The message is not "your contribution is
not wanted" but rather "your contribution is not needed because there
nothing to do".
They are hundred of other packages where your contribution would
make a difference.
Simple packages need someone who is responsible and responsive for them
in the long run and know there history much more than needing sporadic
contributions.
