I don’t think you should be apologetic about the small scale of your contribution: the animating principle of open source is that the aggregation of small contributions like yours can create outcomes that rival those of even the wealthiest organizations in the world.

But usually it is a handful of really large contributors and more smaller ones. And that's fine, but I'm not aware of a project where the contribution graph is more or less flat. And more often than not those large contributors are paid by large companies to contribute.
I wonder which largish FOSS project has the flattest contribution graph?
That's a great question. Whichever project it turns out to be their governance and leadership will be well worth studying.
