"Contributions welcome" is often echoed, but I like to remind colleagues that it is not the proper mentality to foster a real community. You can't just dump code on GitHub and assume the world is going to start firing off PRs to do your dirty work. You have to assume that no one else cares about your project, but being open to changes in code and leadership will make your project more robust to other use cases.
