maybe you’ve already done this and I’m sorry if i’m telling you the obvious.

You could analyze the repo to identify others who have modified the same files. and reach out to them specifically.

I think if I were a random Google employee submitting Kubernetes patches at my day job-- i.e. not a project maintainer, but just someone in the K8s org chart-- I'd be kind of annoyed if I got cold-emailed asking me to help merge their patches. I'd probably trash that email and assume it was some kind of scam.

I get that the current system isn't working, but I don't think you should just go emailing random committers, that seems likely to just piss people off to no benefit.
