In a project like this, a large part of the maintainer’s time is spent
“dealing with people.”

When someone comes to us and puts energy into improving the project, we
maintainers want to welcome them and show our gratitude.  We also want
to make sure this space remains welcoming to anyone and that those
willing to help the project do not feel excluded.

HTH,
Ludo’.
