Just no. I took a quick look over the SailfishOS and Ubuntu Touch porting guides a couple years ago and it's literally a compatibility layer running on top of the Android kernel to run the GNU userspace and libraries instead of the Android ones. They also used extensive device-specific hacks just so it kind of runs.
Whatever problem OP has will be multiplied tenfold since now it's not only all the cruft of Linux and Android, but also all of Mer's mediocre hacks.
Postmarket seems to be even worse since they intend to also patch the kernel and the entire project is in alpha.

so what you are basicly saying you need better debug tools
take a look around or make them

assdroid is your typical post-postmodern webscale platform. the last time i devd on that shit you had to use some shitty fork of Eclipse (which was already a terrible piece of shit that crashes all the time and can't even reliably parse/analyze Java code correctly), and the stack of programs running on assdroid was 4KB, and the GUI API would use up the entire stack after you nest 3 or 4 or so elements

I'm confused, the post is phrased like it's about how contributing to FOSS is hard, but it mostly complains about Android. And supposedly it's not even actually about Android. Wut?
Anyways, most of those things hardly apply to the average repo. All you need to know is the language the project is in. Even that is optional if you want to just edit the comments and CoC lel. Git is nice but there's been GUI tools for ages Github even has its own gui tool now. There is also minimal interaction with git because Github lets you do most of it (like PRs) from its web interface.
What do you even expect, that developing an OS is as easy as taking 5 files, clicking compile, and getting Android.exe that you then double click on your phone? Sounds like Android is predictably worse than usual, but OS dev is always complicated. Although if you want an open OS it's probably best to compartmentalize everything so that individual pieces can be run on their own without requiring you to compile the whole thing, and integration tests are done on an automated server. I thought this is how G*ogle did their developement anyway, guess Github contributors are just second class citizens to them because they only care about paying lip service to FOSS.
