Hi tryingToGeek, I do a lot of open source security research. Some of the most dangerous vulnerabilities I've found were addressed by a very small change to the code. Should I discount them because they aren't significant or substantial? Of course not. Why should your contributions be any different? In my projects, I go out of my way to thank people regardless of how much they contribute. See https://github.com/paragonie/random_compat https://github.com/paragonie/random_compat for example. Some of the peoples' names are there because they led the way towards great architectural changes that improved the reliability, readability, or performance of this library. Others, for pointing out (and maybe fixing) typos that made it confusing. In all cases, I'm grateful that anyone took the time to help make something I wrote better, and the end result is that this project should be better for the community to use. How does that relate to your situation? Simple: Your contributions are valuable. Whether or not anyone recognizes them as valuable reflects on their value, not yours. Just something to keep in mind.
