The marketing team was founded and had their first meeting. They already improved the website (see Learn page). If you want to join, you find the details in the announcement post. Let's improve the presentation of Nix/NixOS!
It looks like you've only just recently started work nix-update in the last couple weeks. Is there any real reason to write a second tool that does basically the same thing as nixpkgs-update? Notably:
nixpkgs-updatedoes fetch release information from both github releases and pypi.
nixpkgs-update also updates both Rust and Go packages.
nixpkgs-update can be run stand-alone to update/build/test a single package interactively, or even send a PR for that one package in isolation, see this build/PR, which I ran as myself from a local feature branch checkout of nixpkgs-update: tflint: 0.15.0 -> 0.15.1 nixpkgs#82465
nixpkgs-update does not have to send pull requests on its updates (see the --dry-run, which will just update/build/test/report locally).
It being in Haskell is a bit of a barrier to entry compared to Python, to be sure, but we're trying to improve the test suite, dry runs, logging, and interactive output story in particular to make it easier to integrate new rewrite rules for the updater. It'd be nice for us to combine resources and work together rather than splitting our efforts to re-implement the same logic. I've found @ryantm to be extremely active and helpful in accepting/integrating improvements.
Thanks @bhipple. I was thinking the same thing. At this point, the main hurdle I see to most people using nixpkgs-update interactively is the installation story. The issues with that are tracked here ryantm/nixpkgs-update#137

Yes. ryantm's version did not really provided the workflow needed for end-users. My implementation is not really a loss for your project. I tried several times to learn Haskell but I don't understand its errors messages and documentation, so I would not contribute to your implementation much.
