I think I've been clarifying multiple time on IRC that we should work
on development branch. Master is left for production use only.

If you are getting internal server errors there are logs present with
stack trace. Try reading the logs and find out what is going wrong.
Same with API error. Sadly I've not worked on development branch for 2
years and I do not know the current state. But there is nothing
impossible there. We expect you to understand the errors and fix it
yourself. If you can do that then we consider you as possible
candidate.

All of us work full time in some company and we do not have a lot of
free time to hangout on IRC. What you see on IRC is mostly bouncers I
think Jishnu had clarified this on IRC. If you have doubts shoot mail.
And please try to figure out and fix the errors yourself and if needed
raise PR.
