Yes, you can absolutely include your open-source contributions in your portfolio website's experience section. Open-source contributions demonstrate your skills, dedication, and collaboration abilities, making them valuable additions to your professional profile.

It will help the recruiters or the employers of the particular company hiring to understand your expertise and commitment towards the open-source community.
Also adding your open-source contributions to your portfolio is a great way to showcase your skills and demonstrate your active participation in the tech community.

I second @Vijaykv5's comment. Open source is a great tool to add to your portfolio. I highly recommend checking out OpenSauced. They have a feature called Highlights, where you can display your merged PRs, issues, and blog posts. You can learn more about it here: https://docs.opensauced.pizza/community/highlights/

Feel free to add it to your portfolio if you've made significant changes or raised issues that lead to enhancements. However, avoid including unresolved or minor issues, as they reflect more on someone else's project than your own contributions. I don't mean to discourage you... contributing to open source is great! Adding such work to your profile shows how skilled you are at finding bugs or improving code.
