Contributing to an open project is a bit like eating sugary sweets. You have one patch accepted. It feels good. You start hunting around for the next one and the next one. There's always enough low-hanging fruit that anybody can chip in and write tests or docs or verify something. As maintainers, we have to remember to publically acknowledge that work from everybody — as an entry in the AUTHORS file and the commit message and so on. But that's such an easy payback for people donating their efforts.
