We do have an IRC channel where you’re more than welcome to discuss desired changes or ask questions.

Most who contribute though simply submit pull requests which I then review.

Not besides the README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md files.

There is also a wiki page with suggested things to work on, though often the best thing to work on is something you’d like to see improved yourself: https://github.com/textmate/textmate/wiki/Hacking-on-the-Code
