Apparently -s /sbin/nologin wasn't such a good idea since the user

So, what would need to happen for one of these projects to take off
would be one or more people to be in charge of it and organize it, and
they recruit as many people as possible to work on the project along
with them? Does that recruitment generally take the form of
volunteers finding the project as opposed to the project finding
volunteers? Any light to shed on this process for me?

Can you elaborate on this? Do you just mean that there are many small

Of course there are details to be worked out, but I can't think of
anything that would block the project.
