I guess that everybody is different ;-)

After throwing a small patch at ROCKbox (git.rockbox.org) back when
they were still hosted on Subversion, I felt somewhat ashamed to see
my name appear in their CREDITS file because the change I made was
so insignificant. In such a flat list like that, you cannot tell who
made significant contributions over time and who are just a casual
drive-by contributor like me, unless you know the community and who
are important in the community.
