You can help !

Lutris is Open Source Software and is under a GPL v3 License. Contributors are more than welcome as I has lots of work elsewhere too and I'm not able to devote 100% of my time to Lutris ;) You don't have to be a Python expert to help, just run the program, report bugs, submit your ideas, etc ...
If you happen to be a Python hacker then Lutris is a fun project to work on. I try to keep the code clean and understandable. If you read the code and find some things that are badly designed or could be improved, don't hesitate to point them out.
There is all you need to start contributing right now ! If you have any question about Lutris' source code, get in touch with me and I'll happily guide you.
