A decade plus ago when I first got interested in using xfs for a

the
actual kernel fix, but I still think of that as my first significant
contribution to the kernel.
Never underestimate the value of that.  Clued users who submit good
bug reports and who can replicate/test patches or provide good test
cases are worth their weight in gold.
Good to known after testing file systems and what tools are the standard
in the community.
