OsmAnd is (and AFAIR has always been) GPL, and so is likely to have more new contributor friendly source code. Also OsmAnd is a lot more tweakable app than maps.me, which is also likely to lend to an easier to deal with code base (can't efficiently support and develop a codebase across that many combinations of options without having a process to deal with tech debt). And it's been around longer than maps.me.

Or they could get inspiration from KDE's Marble, which has been able to use multiple providers (tiles and routing) from the start, has a good caching mechanism, has made good progress with vector rendering, and has basic OSM editing functionality.
