I dont see why thats unwanted. If the changes are helpful and get merged, what do I care that the person is also helpful to 1000 other projects in a small way? That seems like good behavior to encourage. Its the fault of authorship being a broken metric that it cant distinguish size of contribution, and heightening that contradiction rather than discouraging collaboration to fit it also is a good thing
