Yes, context is key! In addition to what steveklabnik said about Rust, the other interesting bit of context is that the deluge of breaking changes[1] has resulted in a very interesting phenomenon: everyone chips in and submits PRs to library dependencies that haven't been updated by their authors yet. The pace is so fast that most of the time, in my case, it's just a matter of "I haven't gotten home from work yet and there are already 3 PRs against my repos with fixes for the latest Rust nightly." As a result, many of my Rust projects have an oddly disproportionate number of contributors/pull requests relative to other projects I have that are more popular. [1] - Breaking changes have simmered down a lot in the last few weeks. We still have one more semi-big one in front of us, but hopefully smooth sailing from there...
