Totally agree.  If someone finds one bug, sends us a fix and leaves
as a happy customer that is a wonderful thing.

Here's the (much shorter) list of people that contributed to two
consecutive releases and then disappeared.  These people made at
least two contributions across a 3+ month period. In most cases
this moves them out of the "drive-by" category.

Probably some of them moved on to do different things (or were
promoted to manage people who still work on Linux).
