Few people highlight this, but people doing stuff like documentation and support are hugely valuable... and often, completely missing... from open source projects. Open source projects have a high tendency to be seen as difficult to get involved with or difficult to use, because support may be limited or non-existent.

If you're helping people on issues or giving feedback on PRs, I'd absolutely argue you're a valuable member of that project's community, and perhaps key to the continued success and growth of that project.
