 I am not shaming. If I were shaming, I would post examples that show 
 who did what. For the record, I am not aware of you dismissing any 
 kind of contributions or contributors. As far as I have seen you are 
 always very encouraging to new contributors. 
  
 I am merely encouraging people to review the submissions they 
 received, and be welcoming to these contributions. Some people might 
 be ignoring contributions just because they forgot to check, or 
 because they didn't have appropriate notification settings in their 
 Salsa project and never got the email notification about a new MR 
 being posted (screenshot that explains it best at 
 https://wiki2025.debian.org/wiki/Salsa).
