Speaking of giving an "I'm part of this" feeling: do you already
know about contributors_?
It is meant to track contributions to Debian, with the aim to thank
both newcomers and continuing contributors, altought it doesn't
work at the single task level, but is more focused on continuity.
Some more informations about it are available on the announce_ email.
