summary
First contribution lands as first PR Nov 2024, then over the next year more than 10+ PRs and 10+ issues lead to reviewer and maintainer roles by changing contribution style: pick long‑standing issues (example issue #2795), ask to take them, be first to investigate new reports, include reproduction steps and tests to cut review cycles, split big tasks into an umbrella issue, and break work into small, on‑ramp pieces so others can pick them up.
