I also know of one person who I know was be a one off contributor (strager, who made a contribution just to make a video on how easy it is to contribute to open source projects). And saying we don't have them is a chicken and egg problem to me... could it be that we don't have them specifically because the process is so hostile to this type of contribution? -- Cheers, Guinevere Larsen She/Her/Hers
