I understand people have a viewpoint here about not giving time to large behemoths. I'll counter with a story and perhaps a larger point.

Back in 2006/7 I had an idea for a project for which, in all enthusiasm, I setup a mailing list, but ended up never pursuing it. It's a very unique name.

In 2012, another developer landed on the same name for their project, but saw that the mailing list was taken up and reach out inquiring if he could take over, and I obliged because here's another person doing something in cryptography and open source, 2 of my favorite things then (and now).

The project was "scrypt" and the developer was Colin! :) I knew nothing about Colin or tarsnap then, IIRC.

Sometimes you just do kindnesses of which you're able, with people who you feel a sense of community with, without expectation of anything commercial. Karma adds up, and it's benefits are large, though hard to always articulate.
