No, I did not miss your point.

See, back in the early GNOME days, a little contribution made a big
difference to the whole project.  Even a simple bug fix was well
received.  Even a small game.  They all added to make what GNOME is
today.

A game back then made Ian Peters an active contributor of GNOME, and
he eventually became a GNOME maintainer.
