Actually, my mornings start with reading HN; I am more of a reader than a writer :) But I see your point: if you find it useful, then repay it with a contribution.

I agree on the repo link as well; it was indeed selfish on my side. HN is one of the few places where you can read human content, so let's keep it that way. Lesson completely learned on my side.

Communicating with mods about issues could be a good idea too, but I shall keep it to a minimum. Apparently, they are super busy fighting AI :)

Yeah, if you have a long lurker history, that makes it difficult to assess whether your intentions are genuine or not. I lack visibility into ‘voting’ participation levels as a normal user. That’s why I ask the mods to review things (and beg people to email them rather than post mod questions as post comments!) rather than, in nearly all circumstances anyways, asking for a specific mod outcome. They know far better than we do what the full circumstances are.
