Sadly (well at least to me) saying "thank you" for example in a github issue is considered next to spam. You can write a long description of an issue or solution and add "thank you" but it's considered a waste to say just say "thank you" when someone sends a small PR.

I disagree with that culture. I'd prefer we all exchanged the small "thank yous" even in github threads, code review, etc... but knowing the majority seem to feel it's spam I find most of the time I feel pressure not to write them.

Maybe a few "leaders" like Linus or whoever came out with "say thank you" would help?
