Got an email, "Thank you for coverage.py." Opening it, I saw a number of paragraphs. I immediately thought, "they're going to want something, or complain about something."

Nope! It was details of their challenges, and how coverage.py helped, especially the documentation. Ended with "Thanks again for this awesome Python contribution!"

If you like what someone has done, tell them!

@nedbat Having both written and received thank you emails, they are always always worthwhile. Even just the two words.
Great stuff :ablobreach:

@nedbat Well yeah, thanks! Whatever exactly was written in that mail, I concur! :)

"Pull requests welcome" is not a community management strategy.

Florian Haas

@nedbat That's right, everyone do git push --force instead!

@nedbat It is an expectation management strategy.
